								<p>You can change the behaviour of <span class="command">ld</span> with the environment variables
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>GNUTARGET</code>,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>LDEMULATION</code> and <code>COLLECT_NO_DEMANGLE</code>.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p><a name="index-GNUTARGET-300"></a><a name="index-default-input-format-301"></a><code>GNUTARGET</code> determines the input-file object format if you don't
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								use <span class="samp">-b</span> (or its synonym <span class="samp">--format</span>).  Its value should be one
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								of the BFD names for an input format (see <a href="BFD.html#BFD">BFD</a>).  If there is no
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>GNUTARGET</code> in the environment, <span class="command">ld</span> uses the natural format
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								of the target. If <code>GNUTARGET</code> is set to <code>default</code> then BFD
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								attempts to discover the input format by examining binary input files;
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								this method often succeeds, but there are potential ambiguities, since
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								there is no method of ensuring that the magic number used to specify
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								object-file formats is unique.  However, the configuration procedure for
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								BFD on each system places the conventional format for that system first
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								in the search-list, so ambiguities are resolved in favor of convention.

								   <p><a name="index-LDEMULATION-302"></a><a name="index-default-emulation-303"></a><a name="index-emulation_002c-default-304"></a><code>LDEMULATION</code> determines the default emulation if you don't use the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<span class="samp">-m</span> option.  The emulation can affect various aspects of linker
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								behaviour, particularly the default linker script.  You can list the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								available emulations with the <span class="samp">--verbose</span> or <span class="samp">-V</span> options.  If
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the <span class="samp">-m</span> option is not used, and the <code>LDEMULATION</code> environment
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								variable is not defined, the default emulation depends upon how the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								linker was configured.

								   <p><a name="index-COLLECT_005fNO_005fDEMANGLE-305"></a><a name="index-demangling_002c-default-306"></a>Normally, the linker will default to demangling symbols.  However, if
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>COLLECT_NO_DEMANGLE</code> is set in the environment, then it will
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								default to not demangling symbols.  This environment variable is used in
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								a similar fashion by the <code>gcc</code> linker wrapper program.  The default
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								may be overridden by the <span class="samp">--demangle</span> and <span class="samp">--no-demangle</span>
							 |

								options.
