[cygwin|mingw] ld --verbose (w/o .o) creates file


Nick,

A possibly unforeseen side-effect has resulted from the addition of default-manifest support for PE targets. Usually, a simple '[$target-]ld --verbose' without any other arguments prints the linker script but does not create a file. However, with the new Cygwin binutils (20140326 snapshot), an a.exe file is created. I presume this was not intentional. Could the previous behaviour be restored (IOW do not include default-manifest.o if there is nothing else to link)?
