Disable relocations when linking with LLD

Question

Is there an option for lld that will tell it not to perform relocations. I don't want PIC code, I just want relocations not to be performed. (Yes I know this will result in an executable that doesn't work.)

Turns out to be an easy and fairly obvious solution - just pass -r or --relocatable. Then it won't apply relocations but will store them in the output file instead.

Edit: Unfortunately this does not quite have the effect I want, because you can't use --gc-sections and --relocatable at the same time.

So I guess you want to, to put it in other words, discard the relocations? – Luís Marques May 15 '19 at 12:38

Yes. Unfortunately I ended up having to patch LLVM locally and add an `--ignore-relocations` flag which does exactly that. – Timmmm May 15 '19 at 16:38
