+
+5l is a modified version of the Plan 9 linker.  The original is documented at
+
+	http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/1/2l
+
+Its target architecture is the ARM, referred to by these tools as arm.
+It reads files in .5 format generated by 5g, 5c, and 5a and emits
+a binary called 5.out by default.
+
+Major changes include:
+	- support for segmented stacks (this feature is implemented here, not in the compilers).
+
+
+Original options are listed in the link above.
+
+Options new in this version:
+
+-F
+	Force use of software floating point.
+	Also implied by setting GOARM=5 in the environment.
+-Hlinux
+	Write Linux ELF binaries (default when $GOOS is linux)
+-I interpreter
+	Set the ELF dynamic linker to use.
+-L dir1 -L dir2
+	Search for libraries (package files) in dir1, dir2, etc.
+	The default is the single location $GOROOT/pkg/$GOOS_arm.
+-r dir1:dir2:...
+	Set the dynamic linker search path when using ELF.
+-V
+	Print the linker version.
