Link-Time Consistency Checking

The nld utility checks the consistency of floating-point type combinations when linking
object files. The type of checking depends on whether the floattype attribute is
specified.
floattype Not Specified
floattype Specified
floattype Not Specified
When the floattype attribute is not explicitly set with the -set option, nld uses the
floattype attribute values of all the input object files to determine the floattype
attribute value of the output object file. If the consistency checks of the input object files
result in an invalid floating-point type or an inconsistent value, nld issues an error
message and does not create an output object file.
