   + Note - if the linker is being invoked indirectly, via a compiler driver
   + (eg @samp{gcc}) then all the linker command line options should be
   + prefixed by @samp{-Wl,}  like this:

I would change this to indicate that -Wl is actually compiler
specific.  There are other compilers which support -Wl, but there also
plenty which don't.
