Make RGBLINK usable in a C toolchain #1008

Open
@ISSOtm

Description

More needs to be done for RGBLINK to become a viable C toolchain linker, in order of importance:

  • Linker script must be able to specify floating sections (SDCC "floating" areas do not convey any "type" info, so the linker script must specify whether they are ROM0, ROMX, etc. but that shouldn't force their location.)
  • Linker script must be able to specify "optional" sections (i.e. reference sections but not error out if they don't exist)
  • .cdb support
  • Document how the SDCC and RGBDS worlds interact
  • .lib support (ar archives, and lazily linking .os from those)
  • .noi support (essentially .sym with a different format)
