How to link the static library for iOS

I created a bunch of files .o(via gcc -c $file.c $someotherops -o $file.o). Now I want to link them to a static library.

I am not sure what I should use ldor gccfor this. The manual ldsays that I should not use it directly. However, I cannot define gcc options to create a static library.

I tried ld *.o -static -o libfoo.a, but it complains about a lot of missing characters (I think everything is from libc). I do not understand why it complains because it must be a static library. I thought I would check for the characters as soon as I link this static library to some other task.

Another thing: I use /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/ldhere (my goal is iOS). He complains about the warning ld: warning: using ld_classic. What does it mean?

Then I thought, maybe he needs to specify dynamic libraries. So I added -lcfor reference to libc. But he complains about can't locate file for: -lc. I added -L/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.0.sdk/usr/liband eat libc.dylib.

Any ideas?

Error -lc: It disappeared after I pointed out -arch armv6. Then he complained about the wrong one libcache.dylib(which should be connected with libc.dylib, I think, because he did not indicate it). Added support -L.../usr/lib/system.

Now, for every single file .o, I get a warning ld: warning: CPU_SUBTYPE_ARM_ALL subtype is deprecated. What does it mean?

And I still have a bunch of missing characters, esp:

Undefined symbols for architecture armv6:
  "start", referenced from:
     -u command line option
