9.6 Default GNU ld scripts used by armlink
9.6.1 Default ld script for an executable
GNU ld script support in armlink
If you use command-line options that require an ld script, you can specify a script to use with
the --linker_script command-line option. If you do not specify a script, the default ld script
used by armlink depends on whether you are building an executable or a shared object:
