            Bug ID: 24600
           Summary: Support --start-lib --end-lib
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: maskray at google dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

--start-lib gives following object files (before --end-lib) archive semantics.
They are handy if you don't want to create archives for the semantics.
Some build system makes use of this option as an optimization: after changes of
object files, no archives need updating.

% ld.lld a.o --start-lib b.o --end-lib
% gold a.o --start-lib b.o --end-lib
% ld.bfd a.o --start-lib b.o --end-lib
ld.bfd: unrecognized option '--start-lib'
ld.bfd: use the --help option for usage information

--start-lib can not be nested in --start-group, vice versa.
