not be, or only supported in the old fashioned way.
Here I've meant ignoring of the -CX -XX options, not the actual implementation
of smartlinking.
For Android the external linker is always used and the section based
smartlinking is the only option.
For ms-dos by default the wlink linker is used with the library based
smartlinking and -CX -XX are also ignored.
Other targets: m68k doesn't have any internal assembler or linker, but at
least any target using the vasm/vlink assembler-liker combo also has
smartlinking enabled, using named sections in the assembler file, and
vlink's section garbage collection feature. (Similar to what recent GNU LD
has for ELF.)
This includes, Amiga, Atari, and the Sinclair QL at least. Some PowerPC
targets like AmigaOS 4, and MorphOS also supports it.
Sure, building for retro targets can't work at all without smartlinking enabled
by default.
Yuriy.
