Dear Colleagues:

    When I was installing the package openssl ,  I found command like this:

 

gcc -msoft-float -shared -o libcrypto.so.0.9.6 -Wl,-S,-soname=libcrypto.so.0.9.6 -Wl,--whole-archive libcrypto.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive -L. -ldl -lc

 

I do not know what is the meaning of the three gcc options 

   -Wl,-S,-soname=libcrypto.so.0.9.

   -Wl,--whole-archive 

   -Wl,--no-whole-archive

and I can not find something about it in the gcc help documents.Please tell me about that if you know about it. I will be greatly indebted for your assistance.

 

Best regards!
