It's described in the manual, section 19.7.5:

http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml-4.00/manual033.html

You may also look at my text

http://www.camlcity.org/knowledge/kb_002_shared_library.html

which is written for ocamlopt, but the same should also apply to ocamlc  
provided you use -lcamlrun instead of -lasmrun.
