- Link a specific object file with no dependencies into an executable:

`ld {{path/to/file.o}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/output_executable}}`

- Link multiple object files together:

`ld {{path/to/file1.o path/to/file2.o ...}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/output_executable}}`

- Link a object file to a specific target emulation:

`ld {{path/to/file.o}} -m {{target_emulation}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/output_executable}}`

- Dynamically link an x86_64 program to glibc (file paths change depending on the system):

`ld {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/output_executable}} {{[-I|--dynamic-linker]}} {{/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2}} {{/lib/crt1.o}} {{/lib/crti.o}} -lc {{path/to/file.o}} {{/lib/crtn.o}}`
