            Bug ID: 23386
           Summary: Clarify defaults on gold --help
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.32 (HEAD)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gold
          Assignee: ccoutant at gmail dot com
          Reporter: dilyan.palauzov at aegee dot org

  Target Milestone: ---

gold --help prints:

  --hash-style [sysv,gnu,both]
                              Dynamic hash style
-> write what the default is

  --strip-debug-gdb           Strip debug symbols that are unused by gdb (at
least versions <= 7.4)
-> Update this for newer gdb version

  -x, --discard-all           Delete all local symbols
  -X, --discard-locals        Delete all temporary local symbols
  --discard-none              Keep all local symbols
Compare here the output of ld.bfd --help:
  -x, --discard-all           Discard all local symbols
  -X, --discard-locals        Discard temporary local symbols (default)
  --discard-none              Don't discard any local symbols
So for ld.bfd -X is the default, clarify what is the default for ld.gold

  --compress-debug-sections [none,zlib,zlib-gnu,zlib-gabi]
                              Compress .debug_* sections in the output file
-> Write what the default is.
