title: Is there a difference between the "-Wl,option" and "-Xlinker option" syntax for GCC?
body: <p>I have been looking through some configuration files and I've seen both being used (albeit on different architectures). If you're using GCC on a Linux box, is there a difference between the two syntaxes for passing options to the linker?</p>
  <p>Reading the GCC manual they are explained it almost identically as far as I could tell.</p>
