How portable?

By a funny coincidence, I was messing with strip a few days ago (for yi), and my discussion with dcoutts covered just this.

He told me that -optl-s was considered bad, as that option gets passed to the linker and -s is apparently specific to GNU ld.

Er? ld -s has worked since Version 7 UNIX. Or is this about e.g. Cygwin/mingw not implementing it? -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
