[PING^2][PATCH v5 00/12] PR ld/24600: Add general linker support for mapless archives

[Fangrui Song]

I sent a message at Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 11:40 PM, which likely got
blocked because I used maskray@sourceware.org (supposed to be a
receive only address) as a sender
"""
If you send an updated series, I hope the --link-mapless option can be
renamed to avoid confusion with -M/-Map :)

I believe the option length doesn't really matter as it would not be
used often - and at some point will become legacy

>      -M /-M      --print-map       Print a link map to the standard output.
>       -Map=mapfile /-Map             Print a link map to the file mapfile.
