2.1.158 --translate_gld
This option helps to emulate GNU ld by enabling the translation of command lines from
the GNU tools.
Usage
You can use this option to provide either of the following:
• a full GNU ld emulation targeting ARM Linux
• a subset of full GNU ld emulation in the form of translating individual GNU ld
command-line arguments into their RVCT equivalents.
To provide a full GNU ld emulation, you must also use --arm_linux_config_file. This
combination of options selects the appropriate GNU header files and libraries specified
by the configuration file, and includes changes to some default behaviors.
To translate individual GNU ld command-line arguments into their RVCT equivalents
without aiming for full GNU ld emulation, use --translate_gld to emulate GNU ld, but
do not use it with --arm_linux_config_file. Because you are not aiming for full GNU
ld emulation with this method, RVCT default behavior is retained, and no defaults are
set for targeting ARM Linux. RVCT library paths and option defaults remained
unchanged.
