I was imprecise :-/ I have a m-option which I would like to use for (roughly) the same purpose when invoking assembler and linker. This option selects the objectcode format during assembling and linking by passing special flags to either as or ld. When assembling this is always ok but when linking I would like to ignore this m-option unless -r was specified too. Of course, I could remove the test for this m-option in LINK_SPEC (making it an assembly-only option) and demand using -Wl to select the objectcode format when linking. However, I feel that it is much more convenient to have a frontend option that does the right thing behind the scenes. > This si for people who really understand what they're doing. I agree. Gunther
