gcc linker flags


I've seen builds by other people in which the following linker flags are used:

(a) --enable-auto-import
(b) --enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc
(c) --enable-auto-image-base

My understanding is that (b) and (c) are already the default and that (a) will be the default when binutils is updated. Moreover, (a) is mostly used to suppress errors (though there are exceptions where it makes a difference). So none of these are really needed in most cases. Do I have it more or less right?

I'm mainly interested in gcc-4 in cygwin 1.7, but if the answers would be different for gcc-3 or cygwin 1.5, I'd like to know that too.

Thanks.

Ken
