The part after the -l is just the name of a library. See /usr/lib for

So the key here is to strip the "lib" prefix from the actual library name
before appending the remaining part of the name to the "-l" option. I was
under the assumption that there were entries in a .cshrc file (or somewhere
else) that were mapping hashed abbreviations to the actual library names.

I would agree, but between the release notes, GNU C/C++/Objective-C Compiler
docs, the mailing lists and an extensive Google search, I didn't find
anything of any substance and gave up. However, thanks to your comment and
now trusting that it was documented somewhere, I just made the connection to
the "ld" static link editor and the man page ("man ld") with the whole
scoop. Hopefully this will help others as lost as I was.
Thanks for the help,
Brock
