30 * HAVE_GNU_LD if using GNU ld, with support for weak symbols in a.out,
31 and for symbol set and warning messages extensions in a.out and ELF.
32 This implies HAVE_WEAK_SYMBOLS; set by --with-gnu-ld.
33 * HAVE_ELF if using ELF, which supports weak symbols.
34 This implies HAVE_WEAK_SYMBOLS; set by --with-elf.
36 * HAVE_WEAK_SYMBOLS if weak symbols are available in the assembler and
37 linker being used. Set by --with-weak-symbols.
