 4.2 `ld' and the Intel 960 Family
 =================================
 
 You can use the `-AARCHITECTURE' command line option to specify one of
 the two-letter names identifying members of the 960 family; the option
 specifies the desired output target, and warns of any incompatible
 instructions in the input files.  It also modifies the linker's search
 strategy for archive libraries, to support the use of libraries
 specific to each particular architecture, by including in the search
 loop names suffixed with the string identifying the architecture.
 
    For example, if your `ld' command line included `-ACA' as well as
 `-ltry', the linker would look (in its built-in search paths, and in
 any paths you specify with `-L') for a library with the names
 
      try
      libtry.a
      tryca
      libtryca.a
 
 The first two possibilities would be considered in any event; the last
 two are due to the use of `-ACA'.
 
    You can meaningfully use `-A' more than once on a command line, since
 the 960 architecture family allows combination of target architectures;
 each use will add another pair of name variants to search for when `-l'
 specifies a library.
 
    `ld' supports the `--relax' option for the i960 family.  If you
 specify `--relax', `ld' finds all `balx' and `calx' instructions whose
 targets are within 24 bits, and turns them into 24-bit program-counter
 relative `bal' and `cal' instructions, respectively.  `ld' also turns
 `cal' instructions into `bal' instructions when it determines that the
 target subroutine is a leaf routine (that is, the target subroutine does
 not itself call any subroutines).
 
    The `--fix-cortex-a8' switch enables a link-time workaround for an
 erratum in certain Cortex-A8 processors.  The workaround is enabled by
 default if you are targeting the ARM v7-A architecture profile.  It can
 be enabled otherwise by specifying `--fix-cortex-a8', or disabled
 unconditionally by specifying `--no-fix-cortex-a8'.
 
    The erratum only affects Thumb-2 code.  Please contact ARM for
 further details.
