@vries, agree?

No change in GCC/nvptx build behavior.

Hi, yes that looks ok to me.

Actually, in GCC/nvptx target testing, this #38's commit 886a95f "ld: Don't search for input files in '-L'directories" is generally causing linking to fail with:

error opening crt0.o
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
compiler exited with status 1

I'm investigating.

A recent nvptx-tools change: commit 886a95faf66bf66a82fc0fe7d2a9fd9e9fec2820
"ld: Don't search for input files in '-L'directories" (of
<SourceryTools/nvptx-tools#38>
"Match standard 'ld' "search" behavior") in GCC/nvptx target testing
generally causes linking to fail with:

    error opening crt0.o
    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
    compiler exited with status 1

Indeed per GCC '-v' output, there is an undecorated 'crt0.o' on the linker
('collect2') command line:

     [...]/build-gcc/./gcc/collect2 -o [...] crt0.o [...]

This is due to:

    gcc/config/nvptx/nvptx.h:#define STARTFILE_SPEC "%{mmainkernel:crt0.o}"

..., and the fix, as used by numerous other GCC targets, is to instead use
'crt0.o%s'; for '%s' means, per 'gcc/gcc.cc', "The Specs Language":

     %s     current argument is the name of a library or startup file of some sort.
            Search for that file in a standard list of directories
            and substitute the full name found.

With that, we get the expected path to 'crt0.o'.

Recent versions of 'ptxas' reject a '.visible' function declaration without
accompanying definition:

    [...]
    FAIL: nvptx-tools :: ld/search-1.test (11 of 35)
    [...]
    + : 'RUN: at line 13'
    + [...]/nvptx-none-as -o [...]/test/ld/Output/search-1.test.tmp/o/GLOBAL_FUNCTION_DECL_f.o [...]/test/ld/../GLOBAL_FUNCTION_DECL_f.s
    ptxas fatal   : Unresolved extern function 'f'
    nvptx-as: ptxas returned 255 exit status
    [...]

..., and indeed '.extern' is what GCC/nvptx generates for
'void f(); void *g = f;', for example.

Fix-up for #38 commit 02a433c
'ld: Document current "search" behavior'.
