Those are not commands. Those are snippets of a makefile, with no context.

How are we supposed to know what your FDFLAGS variable contains, for example?

Anyway, none of this is relevant to GCC, because the linker and
objcopy are not part of GCC.

If you're using GNU binutils then maybe you want to ask on the
binutils mailing list instead.
