 Linker emulation selection
 ==========================
 
    A linker "emulation" is a "personality" of the linker, which gives
 the linker default values for the other aspects of the target system.
 In particular, it consists of
 
    * the linker script
 
    * the target
 
    * several "hook" functions that are run at certain stages of the
      linking process to do special things that some targets require
 
    The command to list valid linker emulation values is `ld -V'.
 
    Sample values: `hp300bsd', `mipslit', `sun4'.
 
    Ways to specify:
 
   1. command line option: `-m' ( Options (ld.info)Options.)
 
   2. environment variable `LDEMULATION'
 
   3. compiled-in `DEFAULT_EMULATION' from `Makefile', which comes from
      `EMUL' in `config/TARGET.mt'
