  14. -dc                     [Don't use]

  18. -l x                    Is an abbreviation for the library file
  19.                         libx.a, searched for in any directories
  20.                         specified with -L and then in the standard
  21.                         location (gcc:lib).
  22. -n                      [Don't use]
  23. -noinhibit-exec         Generate an executable even if errors occur.
  24. -nostdlib               Do not use the standard location for library
  25.                         files.
  26. -o file                 The output is to 'file' rather than 'a.out'.

  30.                         processed.
  31. -u symbol               Enter 'symbol' as undefined (ie, required).
  32.                         Makes it possible to load just from a library.

  41. -M                      Produce a simple link map.
  42. -N                      [Don't use]

  47. {-a,-amiga-syms-only}   [Errm - I can't tell what this does!]
  48.  
  49. Point to watch: LD processes each input as it comes, and won't go back
  50. to extract anything it finds it needs later. So, you have to be a
  51. little careful about the order of input.
  52.  
  53. The entry point is the first file linked, so a typical command line is
  54.  
  55.     > ld -o foo -s gcc:lib/arpc.o foo.o -l pdc -l amiga
