 | 6l 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 x86-64, referred to by these tools as amd64. | 
 | It reads files in .6 format generated by 6g, 6c, and 6a and emits | 
 | a binary called 6.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. | 
 | -e | 
 | 	Emit an extra ELF-compatible symbol table useful with tools such as | 
 | 	nm, gdb, and oprofile. This option makes the binary file considerably larger. | 
 | -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_amd64. | 
 | -r dir1:dir2:... | 
 | 	Set the dynamic linker search path when using ELF. | 
 | -V | 
 | 	Print the linker version. |
