but eld didn’t recognize the parameter specified. (The possibilities are “localized”,
“globalized”, “semi_globalized”, “symbolic”, “static”, “dynamic”, and “dllsonly”.)
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. Fix the spelling of the parameter. Case doesn’t matter, but other than that
it must be exactly as shown in the manual.
Cause. You gave the -change option. Along with a -change option, the only other
options that are allowed are -no_banner, -no_verbose, -obey, -stdin, -verbose, -
vslisting, and -warn. But, you specified some other option besides these.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. Remove the offending option.
Cause. You gave the -update_registry or -check_registry option, telling the name of a
private DLL registry to use during the link. A private DLL registry is used to calculate
the address at which to place a DLL. It is only allowed when you are doing one of the
things listed in the message, and you weren’t doing any of those things.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. If your intention is to do one of the things listed in the message, provide the
appropriate option to specify that. If you are not doing any of those things, do not
specify the -update_registry or -check_registry option.
Cause. You used the -map option, which provides information about addresses in the
program or DLL that you are creating, and you also used the
-r option, to tell eld to
build a 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 a 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 -map option.
1323 One or more options were given that are not allowed with
the -change option.
1324 You specified the name of a DLL registry, but that is
only allowed if you are (a) building a DLL, (b) updating a
DLL with the -alf option, or (c) building the zimpimp file
with the -make_import_lib option.
1325 The -map option is not allowed with the -r option.
