5l 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 ARM, referred to by these tools as arm.
It reads files in .5 format generated by 5g, 5c, and 5a and emits
a binary called 5.out by default.
Major changes include:
- 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:
-F
Force use of software floating point.
Also implied by setting GOARM=5 in the environment.
-Hlinux
Write Linux ELF binaries (default when $GOOS is linux)
-I interpreter
Set the ELF dynamic linker to use.
-L dir1 -L dir2
Search for libraries (package files) in dir1, dir2, etc.
The default is the single location $GOROOT/pkg/$GOOS_arm.
-r dir1:dir2:...
Set the dynamic linker search path when using ELF.
-V
Print the linker version.
