Description Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2009-09-20 09:10:10 UTC 
gold doesn't have the old ld's -x parameter:

       -x
       --discard-all
           Delete all local symbols.

gcc -Wl,-x is used e.g. in the makefiles for libcap.

Log message:
	PR 10670
	* options.h (class General_options): Add -x/--discard-all.
	* object.cc (Sized_relobj::do_count_local_symbols): Handle
	--discard-all.  If the local symbol needs a dynamic entry, check
	that before handling --discard-locals.

I finally got back to this bug report.  I added support for -x/--discard-all.  
Thanks for reporting it.
