Depending on the version of Delphi you have, there should be a unit called crtl.dcu with which you can link. Just use the $L directive for each .obj file in a unit that also uses crtl. You may also need to "use" other various units like Windows, WinSock, etc... The point is to provide the symbols and functions to resolve during the link phase.

This is the same technique used to statically link in the DataSnap TClientDataSet code used to also build midas.dll.
