| 8l is a modified version of the Plan 9 linker. The original is documented at | |
| http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/1/2l | |
| Its target architecture is the x86, referred to by these tools for historical reasons as 386. | |
| It reads files in .8 format generated by 8g, 8c, and 8a and emits | |
| a binary called 8.out by default. | |
| Major changes include: | |
| - support for ELF and Mach-O binary files | |
| - support for segmented stacks (this feature is implemented here, not in the compilers). | |
| Original options are listed in the link above. | |
| Options new in this version: | |
| -d | |
| Elide the dynamic linking header. With this option, the binary | |
| is statically linked and does not refer to dynld. Without this option | |
| (the default), the binary's contents are identical but it is loaded with dynld. | |
| -H6 | |
| Write Apple Mach-O binaries (default when $GOOS is darwin) | |
| -H7 | |
| Write Linux ELF binaries (default when $GOOS is linux) | |
| -L dir1,dir2,.. | |
| Search for libraries (package files) in the comma-separated list of directories. | |
| The default is the single location $GOROOT/pkg/$GOOS_386. | |
| -r dir1:dir2:... | |
| Set the dynamic linker search path when using ELF. | |
| -V | |
| Print the linker version. | |
