From ld(1):-
-N Produce a OMAGIC output file.
-n Produce a NMAGIC output file.
-Q Produce a QMAGIC (FreeBSD/BSDi-i386) output file. This is the
default.
-Z Make a 386BSD ZMAGIC output file.
-z Make a NetBSD ZMAGIC output file.
There's a brief description of OMAGIC, NMAGIC and ZMAGIC in
a.out(5). I'm not sure, but I think QMAGIC is the only one of these
three that'll run on FreeBSD.
