Changes since version 2.3:
|
||
|
||
* New linker code, by Steve Chamberlain and Ian Taylor. For a.out and ecoff
|
||
formats (so far), this should result in considerable savings in time
|
||
and memory used while linking; slightly poorer performance than
|
||
before for formats not converted yet.
|
||
|
||
* Command-line parsing is no longer done with flex. This means
|
||
oddball characters in filenames won't get treated as argument
|
||
separators.
|
||
|
||
* HP-PA ELF support, by Jeff Law. (No SOM support yet.)
|
||
|
||
* Mach i386 support, by David Mackenzie.
|
||
|
||
Changes since version 2.2:
|
||
|
||
* Weak symbols are now supported.
|
||
|
||
* ELF support has been added. The linker has been bootstrapped on
|
||
UnixWare and Solaris.
|
||
|
||
* Alpha OSF/1 support has been added (non dynamic linking only).
|
||
|
||
Changes since version 2.1:
|
||
|
||
* The `bfd' library has been updated to reduce a.out-format string
|
||
table size. The effect of this is that files linked from many input
|
||
files with duplicate symbols (`-g' debugging records, or identical
|
||
static symbols) should be much smaller.
|
||
|
||
Changes since version 2.0:
|
||
|
||
* The ld -ySYMBOL flag (to trace references to SYMBOL) is now implemented.
|
||
|
||
* There is now support for writing ECOFF files, so ld and the
|
||
other utilities should work on Risc/Ultrix and Irix.
