I run make in lib/malloc, then I got the following error. What is wrong?

~/Downloads/bash-4.4$ gcc hashlib.o xmalloc.o lib/malloc/libmalloc.a
-o hashlib.exe
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_libintl_gettext", referenced from:
      _xmalloc in xmalloc.o
      _xrealloc in xmalloc.o
      _internal_malloc in libmalloc.a(malloc.o)
      _internal_realloc in libmalloc.a(malloc.o)
      _internal_free in libmalloc.a(malloc.o)
      _xbotch in libmalloc.a(malloc.o)
  "_running_trap", referenced from:
      _internal_malloc in libmalloc.a(malloc.o)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Then I add ./lib/intl/libintl.a, I got additional errors. This does
not seem to be an efficient way to resolve the problem. Is there an
easy way to figure out all the necessary libraries (but no more) to
link.

$ gcc hashlib.o  xmalloc.o ./lib/intl/libintl.a lib/malloc/libmalloc.a
-o hashlib.exe
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

      __nl_find_msg in libintl.a(dcigettext.o)

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Since the main() function is already there, why there is not already
an easy way to compile it? How do you do unit-testing then for the
code?
