Not sure I understand what the project set is. It's not an uncommon 
feature for a linker in the embedded world.

It's the first problem I discovered when trying to use lld rather than 
ld e.g.

-defsym=__vfprintf=__vfprintf_float_long_long

to select a particular implementation of printf.

The second problem was failing to parse the .ld script - I can provide 
it if required.

Regards
Michael
