Making relocatable object with gcc causes "cannot find -lgcc_s" error

I'm trying to make a relocatable object file with gcc. I use solution from this post. The solution works fine with ld:

$ ld -r a.o b.o -o c.o

However when I try to use it with gcc, the following error happens:

$ gcc -r a.o b.o -o c.o
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Using the -Wl,-r and -Wl,--relocatable options gives the same result.

Is there any way to link relocatable object file with gcc or I'm forced to use ld for doing this?

To solve this problem, the -nostdlib option must also be passed to gcc:

$ gcc -r -nostdlib a.o b.o -o c.o

I don't know it for sure, but it seems without this option gcc tries to link standard libraries into output relocatable object.
