I just tried "ld -lgcc" on my Ubuntu desktop and it didn't work there
either.  Indeed, there's no way in general for ld to know which libgcc
to use since you might have multiple versions of gcc installed on the
system.  

So, while u-boot might have worked for you before, if it is linking with
the command you mentioned (and no extra -L options) then I think it was
only working by chance.
