### 4.6 `ld` and the Motorola 68K family

The ‘`--got=type`’ option lets you choose the GOT generation scheme. The choices are ‘`single`’, ‘`negative`’, ‘`multigot`’ and ‘`target`’. When ‘`target`’ is selected the linker chooses the default GOT generation scheme for the current target. ‘`single`’ tells the linker to generate a single GOT with entries only at non-negative offsets. ‘`negative`’ instructs the linker to generate a single GOT with entries at both negative and positive offsets. Not all environments support such GOTs. ‘`multigot`’ allows the linker to generate several GOTs in the output file. All GOT references from a single input object file access the same GOT, but references from different input object files might access different GOTs. Not all environments support such GOTs.
