We need the syntax -l:filename in order to support arbitrary file names for shared libraries, at least for RTEMS, see below. I list the Intel linkers here in case someone wants to try, for example, a quick test of new linker script techniques without setting up the cross-compilation environment.

Summary of ld options

If given to a compiler driver instead of directly to ld some of these options need to be prefaced with "-Wl,". However a series of options can be given following a signle preface, e.g., "-Wl,-soname=foo,--hash-style-gnu,-zcombreloc".

Option	Needs -Wl,
-shared
-fpic or -fPIC
-e (optional)
-soname
--as-needed
--no-add-needed
-zcombreloc
--zmax-page-size=4K
--hash-style=gnu
-l: (instead of -l)

File names, sonames and the needed list
