Without a -c. But there is a -c.
-O is a not so new option to the linker (read your commit mail). The
message from ld has nothing to do with the message from make about cc.
Make prints `cc -O -c ...' to stdout and then runs cc. Then it runs `ld
-O ${.TARGET} -x -r ${.TARGET}` without telling you what it is doing.
Old versions of ld don't support -O so they print an error message to
stderr.
