This issue came up a couple of months ago - searching the archives using the
slightly painful search engine at lists.apple.com revealed this:

<http://lists.apple.com/archives/darwin-development/2002/Oct/03/linkingdynam

(username archives, password archives)

I spotted something about crt0.o not found as well, but forgot to note the
exact link, sorry.
