/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc while compiling with makefile

by

The specific error is the following line:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc

The linker cannot find the C libraries required for statically linking your library. You can try and see if libc.a already exists on your system by calling locate libc.a. If this returns, add an appropriate library flag pointing to the directory that includes libc.a.

If libc.a is not installed, you unfortunately need to install the library if you want to compile your library statically. Since you stated you are on CentOS, you should be able to accomplish this with yum install glibc-static.
