Normally, the linker will not produce an output file if it encounters
errors during the link process. With this flag, you can specify that
you wish the output file retained even after non-fatal errors.

+Normally, when

+places the global common symbols in the appropriate output sections,
+it sorts them by size. First come all the one byte symbols, then all

+This is to prevent gaps between symbols due to
+alignment constraints. This option disables that sorting.

+Warn when a common symbol is combined with another common symbol or with
