Re: ld -o behaviour


Hi Nick,

   BTW - wouldn't it be easier to change which spec files are causing
   this problem so that a space is inserted between the -o and the
   filename ?  ie instead of having gcc pass "-omagic" to the linker it
   could pass "-o magic".  This would cause the correct parsing to occur
   and would prevent other, similar problems.

I'm not sure that's the right fix -- after all, those running the linker by
hand will experience the same weirdness if they happen to call their final
executable ``magic''.

Perhaps renaming the --omagic option is a better idea.

Ben
