The C standard does not specify compiler invocations.
POSIX specifies some of these libraries and says that you have to link
with, e.g., -lm if you use math functions. It also says that the
same functions may be available without -lm.
But some of these libraries are not in POSIX. dlopen, for example,
should be usable without -ldl according to POSIX, but in glibc before
2.34, it is not.
And yes, in glibc 2.34, there are libdl.a etc. files, so that the old
-ldl etc. options still work.
Thanks,
Florian
