| <p><a name="index-g_t_002dL-69"></a><a name="index-local-symbols_002c-retaining-in-output-70"></a>Symbols beginning with system-specific local label prefixes, typically |
| ‘<samp><span class="samp">.L</span></samp>’ for ELF systems or ‘<samp><span class="samp">L</span></samp>’ for traditional a.out systems, are |
| called <dfn>local symbols</dfn>. 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 <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> and <code>ld</code> discard |
| such symbols, so you do not normally debug with them. |
| |
| <p>This option tells <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> 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. |
