Could anyone explain meaning of the following step in
<bsd.lib.mk>
.cc.so .C.so:
${CXX} ${PICFLAG} -DPIC ${CXXFLAGS} -c ${.IMPSRC} -o ${.TARGET}
@${LD} -x -r ${.TARGET}
@mv a.out ${.TARGET}
Is it necessary to call the ld to process the object, or is it just
some step speeding up further file processing ?
Thanks in advance
