On the GNU Linux and BSD systems, usuallyone has the compiler call the linker using '-o', because calling ld directly isactually pretty complicated and easy to get wrong. Using the compiler to call thelinker is easier and less error prone. This is a question about the compiler, 'gcc' or whatever, and not 'make' specifically. -Mike
