   JFYI,

   Before I used the 'ld' to create empty ELF file like this:

   ld -r -o a.o

   However, the latest CVS version of 'ld' doesn't allow it:

   osv@osv$ ~/local/bin/ppc-rtems-ld -r -o a.o
   /home/osv/local/bin/ppc-rtems-ld: no input files

   There is a simple work-around (using 'as' instead of 'ld'), but I thought
   maybe it's worth to tell you about this incompatibility anyway.

The linker has had that particular error message for many years.  I
don't think this is a recent change.

What target and what sources were you using before?  Are you sure your
linker script didn't happen to mention an input file?
