But the linker doesn't usually know where to find the libraries,
because the libraries are part of the GCC installation, not of the
Binutils installation. That's why gcc always tells the linker where
to find the libraries, via the -L switch. Try compiling a trivial
program with "gcc -v", and you will see how the linker is invoked: gcc
spoon-feeds it with all the directories on the library search path
(you can see those directories if you invoke "gcc -print-search-paths").

See above. What _I_ don't understand is why cannot libgccjit feed the
linker with the same -L switches that gcc does.
Someone, perhaps you, mentioned -nostdlib option to gcc, which might
be the answer to this question, but then why use -nostdlib at all?
