Linker emulation selection
A linker "emulation" is a "personality" of the linker, which gives
the linker default values for the other aspects of the target system.
In particular, it consists of
* the linker script
* the target
* several "hook" functions that are run at certain stages of the
linking process to do special things that some targets require
The command to list valid linker emulation values is `ld -V'.
Sample values: `hp300bsd', `mipslit', `sun4'.
Ways to specify:
1. command line option: `-m' (*note Options: (ld.info)Options.)
2. environment variable `LDEMULATION'
3. compiled-in `DEFAULT_EMULATION' from `Makefile', which comes from
`EMUL' in `config/TARGET.mt'
