Link-Time Consistency Checking
floattype Specified
As summarized in Table 1-2, when the floattype attribute is explicitly specified with
the -set option, any combination of floating types is allowed—ld sets the floattype
attribute value for the output object file to the specified value. If ld detects an
inconsistency between the specified floattype attribute value and that of any input
object file, it issues a warning message.
