| <p>Symbols beginning with system-specific local label prefixes, typically |
| ‘<samp>.L</samp>’ for ELF systems or ‘<samp>L</samp>’ for traditional a.out systems, are |
| called <em>local symbols</em>. See <a href="Symbol-Names.html#Symbol-Names">Symbol Names</a>. Normally you do not see |
| such symbols when debugging, because they are intended for the use of |
| programs (like compilers) that compose assembler programs, not for your |
| notice. Normally both <code>as</code> and <code>ld</code> discard |
| such symbols, so you do not normally debug with them. |
| </p> |
| <p>This option tells <code>as</code> to retain those local symbols |
| in the object file. Usually if you do this you also tell the linker |
| <code>ld</code> to preserve those symbols. |
