Description Duane Hinnen 2010-02-26 17:04:14 UTC
LP: #497923
When doing "man ld", I see a typo: the word "explicitely" should be spelled
"explicitly".

It's in the last paragraph of the description for option:
--gc-sections
--no-gc-sections

"This option can be set when doing a partial link (enabled with option -r). In
this case the root of symbols kept must be explicitely specified either by an
--entry or --undefined option or by a "ENTRY" command in the linker script."
