  3. >I didn't see "ld" in your posting  Did you forget it or is there really
  4. >no POSIX spec for "ld".   If there is, I would be interested to know if
  5. >"ld -A" (loading to an executing program) will be in the spec.

  7. Almost everyone usually does "ld" by invoking "cc", as the precise set
  8. of appropriate "ld" options for a normal program tends to be system-specific.
  9. I would guess that 1003.2 simply didn't think it was worth adding "ld"
  10. given this.
  11.  
  12. The ability to do "ld -A" (or rather, to do anything useful with the
  13. result) is *very* system-specific.
