What is the alternative for cl /NODEFAULTLIB in gcc

Question

I have done a c++ project that doesn't depend on any c/c++ runtime but only windows api I can build it easily with msvc by passing -NODEFAULTLIB to the linker and I end up with a small executable that doesn't depend on any c/c++ runtime I'm thinking now to publish my project and people will be able to build it without msvc (it requires huge disk space) So I decided to go with mingw-w64 and my project will be built also on linux with mingw But I don't want the runtime library to be linked to my application so how can I disable linking to it

Answer 1

-z nodefaultlib seems to do it, see:
