   ld behaves inconsistently with its `-o' option.  If I run:
   
   	ld foo.o -o foo.x  or
   	ld foo.o -ofoo.x
   
   I get the same results.  If I run:
   
   	ld foo.o -omagic
   
   ld names the output file `a.out' (as if no -o option was given at all).
   Could it be that ld accepts -omagic is if it were --omagic?

Yes, it does.  ld accepts all long options with a single dash as well
as with two dashes.
