Aaah thank you Nelson, now I understand :) -lm and -lz are the same as
-l m and -l z; I thought that they were option names which size is two
characters :)

According to the gcc manual, "The linker searches a standard list of
directories for the library, which is actually a file named
liblibrary.a. The linker then uses this file as if it had been specified
precisely by name."

Am I not statically linking ?

Pardon my igorance...
