Two problems here:

1. the first line first compiles truc.ml into truc.cmx/truc.o as usual, 
and then combine truc.o with stdlib.a and a temporary startup object 
into truc.o. It seems that the linker first creates a fresh truc.o file 
before reading the existing truc.o, so the native code produced by the 
compiler is actually lost. You should use a different file name:

ocamlopt -output-obj truc.ml -o truc_main.o


2. the last line should mention the -lm and -ldl libraries, as can be 
found by:

   grep NATIVECCLIBS `ocamlc -where`/Makefile.config

So:

gcc -o test test.o truc_main.o -L/usr/lib/ocaml/3.09.2 -lasmrun -lm -ldl
