<p>The &lsquo;<samp>--got=<var>type</var></samp>&rsquo; option lets you choose the GOT generation scheme.
The choices are &lsquo;<samp>single</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>negative</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>multigot</samp>&rsquo; and
&lsquo;<samp>target</samp>&rsquo;.  When &lsquo;<samp>target</samp>&rsquo; is selected the linker chooses
the default GOT generation scheme for the current target.
&lsquo;<samp>single</samp>&rsquo; tells the linker to generate a single GOT with
entries only at non-negative offsets.
&lsquo;<samp>negative</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>multigot</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.
