[cfe-dev] LLVM linker substitute for GNU's '-sectcreate'

[Nick Kledzik]

The Xcode4 linker *does* support the -sectcreate and -seg1addr options.  What makes you think it does not?

Also, to see the linker version actually being used in an Xode build, add -Wl,-v to the "Other linker flags" for the target.   Xcode has a couple copies of linkers, so it may be not running the one in /usr/bin.
