Almost everyone usually does "ld" by invoking "cc", as the precise set
of appropriate "ld" options for a normal program tends to be system-specific.
I would guess that 1003.2 simply didn't think it was worth adding "ld"
given this.
The ability to do "ld -A" (or rather, to do anything useful with the
result) is *very* system-specific.
