Error Messages
Effect. Error (The linker cannot do what was requested of it and will eventually stop,
but may continue for the purpose of detecting additional errors before stopping).
Recovery. If your intention is to create a program or DLL, then don’t specify the -r
option. If your intention is to use the -r option to create another object file that can be
used as eld input, then don’t specify the -set space_guarantee option.
Cause. You used the -set rld_unresolved option, which is an attribute you can set
when you build a program or DLL, to tell later invocations of the -alf option, and rld,
how they should handle unresolved references in that program or DLL, and you also
used the -r option, to tell eld to build another object file that can be used as linker
input rather than a program or DLL.
Effect. Error (The linker cannot do what was requested of it and will eventually stop,
but may continue for the purpose of detecting additional errors before stopping).
Recovery. If your intention is to create a program or DLL, then don’t specify the -r
option. If your intention is to use the -r option to create another object file that can be
used as eld input, then don’t specify the -set rld_unresolved option.
Cause. You used the -t or -d option, when building a program or DLL, to tell the
starting addresses of its segments, and you also used the -r option, to tell eld to build
another object file that can be used as linker input, rather than a program or DLL.
Effect. Error (The linker cannot do what was requested of it and will eventually stop,
but may continue for the purpose of detecting additional errors before stopping).
Recovery. If your intention is to create a program or DLL, then don’t specify the -r
option. If your intention is to use the
-r option to create another object file that can be
used as eld input, then don’t specify the -t or -d option.
Cause. You used the -t option, which specifies the starting address of the code
segment
of the program or DLL being built. It was rounded up to a multiple of 64K
bytes (or, 128K bytes if you are building an implicit DLL).
Effect. Warning (eld produces an output file, but it might not be what you intended).
Recovery. The starting address of the code segment of a program or DLL is required
to have the indicated alignment. No action is required if you understand that and are
satisfied with the rounding, although it would be cleaner if you specified a number with
the right alignment in the first place. If this doesn’t make sense to you, because you
1194 The 'rld_unresolved' attribute is not allowed with the
-r option.
1195 Specified the -t and/or -d option with the -r option.
1198 The value for the -t option was rounded up to <number>.
