Previous: Expressions, Up: Scripts  3.11 Implicit Linker Scripts
If you specify a linker input file which the linker can not
recognize as an object file or an archive file, it will try to
read the file as a linker script. If the file can not be parsed
as a linker script, the linker will report an error.  An
implicit linker script will not replace the default linker
script.  Typically an implicit linker script would contain only
symbol assignments, or the INPUT, GROUP, or VERSION commands.
Any input files read because of an implicit linker script will
be read at the position in the command line where the implicit
linker script was read. This can affect archive searching.
