/usr/arm-none-eabi/bin/ld

GNU Binutils built as a cross toolchain for the bare-metal ARM EABI target (arm-none-eabi). It provides target-prefixed tools: arm-none-eabi-as, -ld, -ld.bfd, -objcopy, -objdump, -nm, -ar, -ranlib, -strip, -readelf, -size, -strings, -addr2line, -c++filt, -elfedit and -gprof. They assemble, link, inspect and convert ARM/Thumb object files for Cortex-M/R/A embedded firmware development. The package is built from the same binutils-gdb source as Wolfi's native binutils, configured with --target=arm-none-eabi.

                                before, and one after each stub section.
                                Values of +/-1 indicate the linker should
