¿Qué significa esta opción para ld?

-lrt

Sé hasta cierto punto que significa que ld está buscando la biblioteca con extensiones en tiempo real, pero después de buscar mucho, no pude encontrar una definición exacta (o a qué biblioteca) se refiere.

Con Bionic (android) libc, los documentos de Android NDK detallan que esto (junto con pthreads) se ha integrado.

Pregunto porque parece estar implícito (es decir, cuando invoco el compilador, un gdc compilado personalizado, directamente, recibo un mensaje que dice que ld no puede encontrar -lrt)

EDITA

Desde la descripción general de Bionic

a biblioteca C de @ Bionic viene con su propia implementación pthread incluida. Esto es diferente de otras bibliotecas C históricas que:

- place it in an external library (-lpthread)
- play linker tricks with weak symbols at dynamic link time

l soporte para funciones en tiempo real (también conocido como -rt) también está incluido en la biblioteca C.

El problema es que collect2 está pasando la opción -lrt (y también -lpthreads) a ld.

¿Hay alguna forma de anular este comportamiento?
