Again, this question is more appropriate for binutils@sourceware.org.
If you pick a particular platform, and ask there, you may get an
answer.

In general the GNU linker and the native linker don't have exactly the
same features for any given platform.  Where it matters for gcc, the
--with-gnu-ld configure option may make a difference.
