Pass Option to System Linker (-Q ld_option or -Q,1 ld_option or -Q,2ld_option)

Passes the specified cob option(s) to the system linker. The Micro Focus COBOL system uses a two-pass link process to build a linked executable module to support dynamic loading and reference to C external data. Specifying -Q ld_option passes the options to both linker passes (that is, calls of the command ld). Specifying -Q,1 ld_option passes the options to only the first linker pass. Specifying -Q,2 ld_option passes the options to only the second linker pass.

You must use a separate -Q flag for each option, and any options that begin with hyphens must be enclosed in quotation marks. Use the format -Q "flag value" only where flag and value are not separate arguments, but represent one argument containing an embedded space.
