The new option allows excluding specific libraries when linking, no matter where it came from (default lib, #inclib, -l, objinfo...). This allows selectively blacklisting libraries and can be used to... - remove unused dependencies when linking against shared libraries (when linking against static libraries via -l, the linker automatically skips unused libs, but not for shared libraries) - override unwanted #inclibs (although arguably this is not the ideal solution for that, but just a last resort) - disable only some default libs, instead of all as done by -nodeflibs. For example, this could be used to specifically omit libtinfo. Using -nodeflibs would omit a lot more (including fbrt0.o) which would have to be re-added manually again.
