BANG! BANG! BANG! Put these bits out of their misery.

Murdered by members of:	a.out.die.die.die

ELF is the 1 true path now.  So make good on the src/Makefile threat that
building a.out will not be supported post 4.x.  These bits should either
resurface as a port, or a new port using the latest Binutils bits.  The
later will not support our SunOS-style shared a.out libs; but we shouldn't
need such support by this point in time.

-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-.Nm
-combines the object and archive files given on the command line into a new
-object file. The output object file is either an executable program, a
-shared object suitable for loading at run-time, or an object file that can
-once again be processed by
-.Nm .
-Object files and archives are processed in the order given on the command line.
-.Pp
-The options are as follows:
-.Pp
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Fl A Ar symbol-file
-The the symbol-file is taken as a base for link-editing the object files
-on the command line.
-.It Fl assert Ar keyword
-This option is here mainly for compatibility with SunOS
-.Nm .
-Most conditions which would cause a Sun assertion to fail will
-currently always cause error or warning messages from
-.Nm .
-The only keyword implemented by
-.Nm
-is
-.Nm pure-text ,
-which generates a warning if a position independent object is being
-created and some of the files being linked are not position
-independent.
-.It Fl B Ns Ar dynamic
-Specifies that linking against dynamic libraries can take place. If a library
-specifier of the form -lx appears on the command line,
-.Nm
-searches for a library of the from libx.so.n.m
-(see the
-.Fl l
-option)
-according to the search rules in effect. If such a file cannot be
-found a traditional archive is looked for.
-This options can appear anywhere on the command line and is complementary
-to
-.Fl B Ns Ar static .
-.It Fl B Ns Ar forcedynamic
-This is similar to
-.Fl B Ns Ar dynamic
-except that if no dynamic libraries are linked against,
-.Nm
-will still produce a dynamic executable.  This is useful for programs
-which are static but still need to load dynamic objects at runtime.
-.It Fl B Ns Ar static
-The counterpart of
-.Fl B Ns Ar dynamic .
-This option turns off dynamic linking for
-all library specifiers until a
-.Fl B Ns Ar dynamic
-is once again given. Any explicitly
-mentioned shared object encountered on the command line while this option is
-in effect is flagged as an error.
-.It Fl B Ns Ar shareable
-Instructs the linker to build a shared object from the object files rather
-than a normal executable image.
-.It Fl B Ns Ar symbolic
-This option causes all symbolic references in the output to be resolved in
-this link-edit session. The only remaining run-time relocation requirements are
-.Em base-relative
-relocations, ie. translation with respect to the load address. Failure to
-resolve any symbolic reference causes an error to be reported.
-.It Fl B Ns Ar forcearchive
-Force all members of archives to be loaded, whether or not such members
-contribute a definition to any plain object files. Useful for making a
-shared library from an archive of PIC objects without having to unpack
-the archive.
-.It Fl B Ns Ar silly
-Search for
-.Em \.sa
-silly archive companions of shared objects. Useful for compatibility with
-version 3 shared objects.
-.It Fl D Ar data-size
-Set the size of the data segment. For sanity's sake, this should be larger
-than the cumulative data sizes of the input files.
-.It Fl d Ar c
-Force allocation of commons even producing relocatable output.
-.It Fl d Ar p
-Force alias definitions of procedure calls in non-PIC code. Useful to
-obtain shareable code in the presence of run-time relocations as such
-calls will be re-directed through the Procedure Linkage Table (see
-.Xr link 5 )
-.It Fl e Ar entry-symbol
-Specifies the entry symbol for an executable.
-.It Fl f
-List the resolved paths of all the object files and libraries on the
-standard output, and exit.
-.It Fl L Ns Ar path
-Add
-.Ar path
-to the list of directories to search for libraries specified with the
-.Fl l
-option.
-.It Fl l Ns Ar lib-spec
-This option specifies a library to be considered for inclusion in the
-output. If the
-.Fl B Ns Ar dynamic
-option is in effect, a shared library of the
-form lib<spec>.so.m.n
-(where
-.Em m
-is the major, and
-.Em n
-is the minor version number, respectively)
-is searched for first. The
-library with the highest version found in the search path is selected.
-If no shared library is found or the
-.Fl B Ns Ar static
-options is in effect, an archive of the form lib<spec>.a is looked for in
-the library search path.
-.It Fl M
-Produce output about the mapping of segments of the input files and the
-values assigned to
-(global)
-symbols in the output file.
-.It Fl N
-Produce a
-.Dv OMAGIC
-output file.
-.It Fl n
-Produce a
-.Dv NMAGIC
-output file.
-.It Fl nostdlib
-Do not search the built-in path
-(usually
-.Dq /usr/lib )
-for
-.Fl l
-specified libraries.
-.It Fl O Ar filename
-Specifies the name of the output file.
-The file is created as
-.Ar filename Ns Pa .tmp
-and when output is complete renamed to
-.Ar filename .
-.It Fl o Ar filename
-Specifies the name of the output file. Defaults to
-.Dq Pa a.out .
-.It Fl Q
-Produce a
-.Dv QMAGIC
-.Pq Fx , Bsx Ns -i386
-output file.  This is the default.
-.It Fl r
-Produce relocatable object file, suitable for another pass through
-.Nm .
-.It Fl R
-Record the given path within the executable for run-time library search.
-This only applies to dynamically linked executables.
-.It Fl S
-Strip all debugger symbols from the output.
-.It Fl s
-Strip all symbols from the output.
-.It Fl T
-Specifies the start address of the text segment, with respect to which
-all input files will be relocated.
-.It Fl t
-Leave a trace of the input files as they are processed.
-.It Fl u Ar symbol
-Force
-.Ar symbol
-to be marked as undefined. Useful to force loading of an archive member
-in the absence of any other references to that member.
-.It Fl V Ar version
-Put the given version number into the output shared library
-(if one is created).
-Useful to make shared libraries compatible with other operating
-systems. E.g., SunOS 4.x libraries use version number 3. Defaults to 8.
-.It Fl X
-Discard local symbols in the input files that start with the letter
-.Dq L
-.It Fl x
-Discard all local symbols in the input files.
-.It Fl y Ar symbol
-Trace the manipulations inflicted on
-.Ar symbol
-.It Fl Z
-Make a
-.Bx 386
-.Dv ZMAGIC
-output file.
-.It Fl z
-Make a
-.Nx
-.Dv ZMAGIC
-output file.
-.El
-.Sh ENVIRONMENT
-.Nm
-utilizes the following environment variables:
-.Bl -tag -width "LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
-.It Ev LD_LIBRARY_PATH
-This colon-separated list of directories is inserted into the search
-path for libraries following any directories specified via
-.Fl L
-options and preceding the built-in path.
-.\" .It Ev LD_NOSTD_PATH
-.\" When set, do not search the built-in path for libraries.
-.\" This is an alternative to the
-.\" .Fl nostdlib
-.\" command-line flag.

-.Sh FILES
-.Sh SEE ALSO

-.Sh CAVEATS
-An entry point must now explicitly be given if the output is intended to be
-a normal executable program. This was not the case for the previous version of
-.Nm .
-.Sh BUGS
-Shared objects are not properly checked for undefined symbols.
-.Pp
-Cascading of shared object defeats the
-.Dq -Bstatic
-option.
-.Pp
-All shared objects presented to
-.Nm
-are marked for run-time loading in the output file, even if no symbols
-are needed from them.
