I'm pretty sure that the only thing the -noruntime flag does is 
preventing the runtime from being linked. It will not prevent the 
compiler for generating calls to the runtime.

So if you see calls to runtime functions you need to stub them out as 
Alex suggested or try to find a way to avoid them. Note that the 
compiler will link with the standard library by default as well. I don't 
know if the -noruntime flag prevents that.
