FreeBSD:
I have been looking at the bsd.lib.mk template and I am curious why the
compilation rules contain a CC command and a LD command. For example,
the .c.o rule is as follows:
.c.o:
${CC} ${CFLAGS} -c ${.IMPSRC} -o ${.TARGET}
@${LD} -O ${.TARGET} -x -r ${.TARGET}
The man page for ld(1) says...
-r Produce relocatable object file, suitable for another pass
through ld.
-x Discard all local symbols in the input files.
Is there a benefit to the ld -x option?
Thanks in advance for any input.
