Usage

When you specify --base_platform, the linker also acts as if you specified --bpabi with the following exceptions:

• The full choice of memory models is available, including scatter-loading:

  • --dll.
  • --force_so_throw, --no_force_so_throw.
  • --pltgot=type.
  • --rosplit.

  Note

  If you do not specify a scatter file with --scatter, then the standard BPABI memory model scatter file is used.

• The default value of the --pltgot option is different to that for --bpabi:

  • For --base_platform, the default is --pltgot=none.
  • For --bpabi the default is --pltgot=direct.
• If you specify --pltgot_opts=crosslr then calls to and from a load region marked RELOC go by way of the Procedure Linkage Table (PLT).

To place unresolved weak references in the dynamic symbol table, use the IMPORT steering file command.
