Generate a native, machine code executable.
+ <p>
+ When generating native executables, gccld first checks for a bytecode version
+ of the library and links it in, if necessary. If the library is missing,
+ gccld skips it. Then, gccld links in the same libraries as native code.
+ <p>
+ In this way, gccld should be able to link in optimized bytecode subsets of
+ common libraries and then link in any part of the library that hasn't been
+ converted to bytecode.
