<h3 class="section">2.2 Environment Variables</h3>
 | 
						|
 |

<!-- man begin ENVIRONMENT -->
 | 
						|
<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.
