[Bug ld/10218] New: man says "--", ld says "-"

[miwako dot tokugawa at intel dot com]

ld should be able to accept "--output-def" and "--out-implib" according to the
man page, but in fact it can only accept "-output-def" and "-out-implib"

nhxlc200 1>ld -v
GNU ld version 2.14.90.0.4 20030523
nhxlc200 2>ld --out-implib
ld: unrecognized option '--out-implib'
ld: use the --help option for usage information
nhxlc200 3>ld --output-def
ld: unrecognized option '--output-def'
ld: use the --help option for usage information

[if using gcc]
BB>gcc -v
.. 
gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-34)

BB>gcc -Wl,--output-def=2
/usr/bin/ld: unrecognized option '--output-def=2'
/usr/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
BB>gcc -Wl,--out-implib=2
/usr/bin/ld: unrecognized option '--out-implib=2'
/usr/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information
