installation. The procedure for creating and installing a public DLL registry file is
beyond the scope of this manual.
Cause. You gave a -l option, to tell eld to search for a DLL based on the parameter to
the -l option. Based on that, eld decided that this was one of the standard DLLs,
found it in the standard place, and opened it. The file, however, was not a DLL, but

Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. There is something wrong with your installation. Files that are not DLLs

installing the standard DLLs in the standard location is beyond the scope of this
manual.

another DLL, whose filename is shown in the message, and found that it contained the

public DLL.
1556 <filename> is a linkfile, but it should have been a
public DLL.
1557 The -set data_model neutral option is not allowed when a
