[cc65] How to link in most of the C-library

Hi,

I have a small question about linking in C-library stuff.

We are currently working to publish a Multicart 2006 for the Atari Lynx 
and Carl Forhan got a great idea to increase the 128 byte EEPROM usually 
found on Lynx carts to 2K. The idea is that you could then compile your 
own small applications and transfer them to the EEPROM.

My idea is to create a new link target EEPROM.bin that would contain the 
code, data and rodata segments of the user created game only. When I 
would like to run my EEPROM segment I would read in the RAM-segment 
containing all the C-library code, drivers etc. from the cart and on top 
of this I then load the EEPROM-segment and jump to the start of code there.

This means that I need to link my EEPROM code with the original cart 
code produced earlier.

My question is:
Is it possible to force the entire C-library into my RAM-segment somehow 
so that future EEPROM-based gamed would not need additions to the 
resident RAM-segment?

I thought of creating a dummy application that would use all kind of 
C-command and library calls just to force the routines onto the cart. 
But perhaps there is some neat way to tell the linker to include everything?

Or perhaps "everything" is too much for the limited ram space.
