<h3 class="section">4.6 <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp> and the Motorola 68K family</h3>

<p><a name="index-Motorola-68K-GOT-generation-621"></a><a name="index-g_t_002d_002dgot_003d_0040var_007btype_007d-622"></a>The &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">--got=</span><var>type</var></samp>&rsquo; option lets you choose the GOT generation scheme. 
The choices are &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">single</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">negative</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">multigot</span></samp>&rsquo; and
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">target</span></samp>&rsquo;.  When &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">target</span></samp>&rsquo; is selected the linker chooses
the default GOT generation scheme for the current target. 
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">single</span></samp>&rsquo; tells the linker to generate a single GOT with
entries only at non-negative offsets. 
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">negative</span></samp>&rsquo; instructs the linker to generate a single GOT with
entries at both negative and positive offsets.  Not all environments
support such GOTs. 
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">multigot</span></samp>&rsquo; allows the linker to generate several GOTs in the
output file.  All GOT references from a single input object
file access the same GOT, but references from different input object
files might access different GOTs.  Not all environments support such GOTs.
