  47. {-a,-amiga-syms-only}   [Errm - I can't tell what this does!]
  48.  
  49. Point to watch: LD processes each input as it comes, and won't go back
  50. to extract anything it finds it needs later. So, you have to be a
  51. little careful about the order of input.
  52.  
  53. The entry point is the first file linked, so a typical command line is
  54.  
  55.     > ld -o foo -s gcc:lib/arpc.o foo.o -l pdc -l amiga
