I have a simple "Hello, world" style program that I'm compiling with clang++ on FreeBSD:
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
cout << "Oh, hello" << endl;
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
Which I compile with clang++ and its libc++:
$ clang++ -stdlib=libc++ -v ohhello.cpp
FreeBSD clang version 3.8.0 (tags/RELEASE_380/final 262564) (based on LLVM 3.8.0)

In the linker step I see "-lgcc" and "-lgcc_s" multiple times. Why is clang++ trying to link against gcc if it's using libc++ (not libstdc++)?
Thanks
libgcc is not gcc. It is a small, non compiler-specific C library. It is provided by gcc, but it is not specific to the compiler.
