/*
-6l 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 x86-64, referred to by these tools as amd64.
-It reads files in .6 format generated by 6g, 6c, and 6a and emits
-a binary called 6.out by default.
-
-Major changes include:
- - support for ELF and Mach-O binary files
- - 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:
-
--d
- Elide the dynamic linking header. With this option, the binary
- is statically linked and does not refer to dynld. Without this option
- (the default), the binary's contents are identical but it is loaded with dynld.
--e
- Emit an extra ELF-compatible symbol table useful with tools such as
- nm, gdb, and oprofile. This option makes the binary file considerably larger.
--Hdarwin
- Write Apple Mach-O binaries (default when $GOOS is darwin)
--Hlinux
- Write Linux ELF binaries (default when $GOOS is linux)
--Hfreebsd
- Write FreeBSD ELF binaries (default when $GOOS is freebsd)
--Hopenbsd
- Write OpenBSD ELF binaries (default when $GOOS is openbsd)
--Hwindows
- Write Windows PE32+ binaries (default when $GOOS is windows)
--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_amd64.
--r dir1:dir2:...
- Set the dynamic linker search path when using ELF.
--V
- Print the linker version.
+6l is the linker for the x86-64.
+The $GOARCH for these tools is amd64.
+The flags are documented in ../ld/doc.go.
