1 3.11 Implicit Linker Scripts
1 ============================
1 
1 If you specify a linker input file which the linker can not recognize as
1 an object file or an archive file, it will try to read the file as a
1 linker script.  If the file can not be parsed as a linker script, the
1 linker will report an error.
1 
1    An implicit linker script will not replace the default linker script.
1 
1    Typically an implicit linker script would contain only symbol
1 assignments, or the 'INPUT', 'GROUP', or 'VERSION' commands.
1 
1    Any input files read because of an implicit linker script will be
1 read at the position in the command line where the implicit linker
1 script was read.  This can affect archive searching.
