Hi Rasmus, Thanks for your proposal.
This is an issue we discussed a bit very recently https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2020-April/543073.html and it's nice to see a proposal not requiring the replication of all the link spec logic. I had mixed feelings about a change to get gcc -r behave differently on VxWorks, but on second thoughts ISTM there is sufficient variability in the linkage possibilities on that OS to justify some differences. As a side question to your proposal, have you considered the alternative which consists in using gcc -Wl,-r instead of gcc -r to build your modules ? It would be interesting to know if that somehow wouldn't work for you. Regards, Olivier
