From what I have read of the GNU linker documentation on the linker
'ld'

http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs-2.20/ld/Options.html#Options

there is no such flag as -m64. So I can't understand how it works.
(There is an opton -64 on the Sun linker, but it rarely needed).

Can you explain this?


There are spkgs which use g++ as linker, e.g. givaro, linbox.

Jaap

But I don't understand why that should make any difference, as
ultimately g++ will call the linker.


g++ needs the -m64 flag to produce a 64 bit shared library.

Jaap

I can understand why g++ would need it, but LDFLAGS gets passed to the linker, so I assume that is to 'ld'. Or perhaps I am considering the linker in a too restrictive sense. To me the linker is 'ld'.
