The man page for ld, as for the other binutils, is quite generic, and lists all the options supported on all the systems that binutils can be targeted against. > I would like to know if the cygwin maintainers intend to support this > option. Nope. It only makes sense on platforms that use the ELF executable file format. Windows uses PE-COFF and Cygwin goes with that. For your purposes, just hack it out of the Makefile, hopefully everything will work fine without it. cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
