help in linking std libraries pls

Hi Guys,

I am having problems while linking to  std libraries using arm-linux-ld. I am trying to compile and link my source code which is using stdio,stdflib,string libraries. But I get errors at the linking stage. To link to the std libraries I use -lc (ldflag). Which is causing the error.

My make file is like this
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOPDIR := $(shell /bin/pwd)
export TOPDIR

export CC=arm-linux-gcc
export LD=arm-linux-ld
OBJCOPY=arm-linux-objcopy
OBJDUMP=arm-linux-objdump

export TOP_CFLAGS= -O2 -Wall -fPIC -mcpu=arm9tdmi -I../include 

export LDFLAGS = -L/usr/local/arm/3.4/lib  -T SDcard_bootloader_fat16.lnk -Map SDcard_bootloader_fat16.map -lc

#export LDFLAGS = -T SDcard_bootloader_fat16.lnk -Map SDcard_bootloader_fat16.map -L/usr/local/arm/4.1.1-920t/lib -lc    

ASFLAGS =
SDcard_bootloader:
    make -C main
    $(LD) $(LDFLAGS) -o SDcard_bootloader_fat16.elf main/mainrom.o
    $(OBJCOPY) -j rom -O binary SDcard_bootloader_fat16.elf SDcard_bootloader_fat16.bin
    $(OBJDUMP) -D SDcard_bootloader_fat16.elf > SDcard_bootloader_fat16.diss

clean:
    make clean -C main
    rm -f $(OBJS) SDcard_bootloader_fat16.bin SDcard_bootloader_fat16.elf SDcard_bootloader_fat16.diss SDcard_bootloader_fat16.map

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I get this error arm-linux-ld: BFD 2.16.1 assertion fail. I tried 2 different tool chains.

1) arm-linux-gcc 3.4.3 , arm-linux-ld 2.16

2) arm-linux-gcc 4.1.1 , arm-linux-ld 2.17

I am getting slightly less errors with the newer tool chain.

Can some one please share some info on how to use and std libraries please. 

Thanks
