* The -Map=<filename> command line option has been extended so that if
- <filename> is omitted then a file called <output-filename>.map will be
- created. Plus if <filename> is a directory then
- <filename>/<output-filename>.map will be created.
+ <filename> is a directory then <filename>/<output-filename>.map will be
+ created.
* Add a command-line option for ELF linker, --warn-textrel, to warn that
DT_TEXTREL is set in a position-independent executable or shared object.
@kindex -Map=@var{mapfile}
@item -Map=@var{mapfile}
Print a link map to the file @var{mapfile}. See the description of the
-@option{-M} option, above. Specifying the empty string as @var{mapfile}
-(that is, @code{-Map=}) causes the link map to be written to a file
-named after the @var{output} file, with @code{.map} appended.
-Specifying a directory as @var{mapfile} causes the link map to be
-written into a file inside the directory. The name of the file is
-again based upon the @var{output} filename with @code{.map} appended.
