So far as linking against C libraries is concerned the options usually
required are: -L, -R and -l, plus the option --c-include-dir which is
used to specify the location of any C header files required.
(On OS X, you may also need the --framework and -F options if linking
against a framework.)

If you're linking directly against object files, you can use the
--link-object option.

The option --link-executable-command is useful to know about if you're
building an executable that links against C++ libraries.  In such a
situation you typically want to invoke the linker via the C++ compiler.

The preferred way of building Mercury programs is to use mmc --make.

Cheers,
Julien.
