C to ASM increment causes Segfault - c

Question

I have the following C program:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int i = 0;
int N = 10;
while(i < N) {
printf("counting to %d: %d", N, i);
//i = i + 1;
}
return 0;
}
I would like to compile this first to assembly, then to binary for instructional purposes. So, I issue the following commands:
$ gcc -S count.c -o count.s
$ as -o count.o count.s
$ ld -o count -e main -dynamic-linker /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so count.o -lc
These compile the C to assembly, assemble the assembly to binary, and then link the library containing the printf function, respectively.
This works. Output:
counting to 10: 0counting to 10: 0counting to 10: 0counting to 10: 0counting to 10: 0counting to 10: 0counting to 10: 0counting to 10: 0counting to 10: 0counting to 10: 0counting to 10: 0counting to 10: 0counting to 10: 0
etc until I ctrl-c the program.
However, when I uncomment the i = i + 1 line:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
What is going wrong here?
UPDATE: Here is count.s (with the i = i + 1 line included)

Answer 1

The below works perfectly fine for me on Ubuntu 20 (taken from Ciro Santilli's answer at Linking a C program directly with ld fails with undefined reference to `__libc_csu_fini`).
gcc -S count.c -o count.s
as -o count.o count.s
ld -o count -dynamic-linker /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crt1.o /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/ -lc count.o /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crtn.o

If you on Linux 64 add at the end of the main function:
mov eax, 60
xor edi, edi
syscall
On linux 32
mov eax 1
xor ebx,ebx
int 0x80
