- Subject: information about ld invocation and defaults ?
Hi All - I'm a newbie with GCC and having a bit of a flail with rebuilding
and understanding GCC interaction with LD and "configured default path" in
the tools.
I'd like to see the exact parameters with which ld is invoked by GCC. I
added -wl,-t to the GCC line, and while this provides a lot of helpful
information, some info seems missing, in particular:
- exactly what is passed into ld as it is invoked ?
- ld cannot find "crt0.o"; OK tell me where did it look ?
- ld cannot find "crt0.o"; OK tell me where it was given the requirement to
load it ?
- what is the definition of "sysroot prefix" for this build of ld ?
The ld man pages say "Aside from its flexibility, the GNU linker is more
helpful than other linkers in providing diagnostic information." But I
can't see how to get ld to report the above basic info.
Apologies in advance as I've probably missed something in the man pages !
Thanks in advance for any and all help,
Best Regards, Dave
