| Option | Language | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| -B | C C++ F95 | Specifies whether a library binding for linking is symbolic, dynamic (shared), or static (nonshared). |
| -d | C C++ F95 | Allows or disallows dynamic libraries for the entire executable. |
| -G | C C++ F95 | Build a dynamic shared library instead of an executable file. |
| -h | C C++ F95 | Assign a name to the generated shared dynamic library. |
| -i | C C++ | Tells the linker, ld(1), to ignore any LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting. |
| -L | C C++ F95 | Adds a path to the library search paths. |
| -l | C C++ F95 | Adds dynamic or static library to linker's list of search libraries. |
| -library | C++ | Incorporates specified compiler-provided libraries into compilation and linking. |
| -mc | C C++ | Removes duplicate strings from the .comment section of the object file. |
| -mr | C C++ | Removes all strings from the .comment section of the object file and, if a substitute string is supplied, places the substitute in that section. |
| -mt | C C++ F95 | Indicates compilation and linking for multithreaded code. |
| -norunpath | C++ F95 | Does not build the path for shared libraries into the executable. |

| -Q | C | Emits identification information to the output file. |
| -R | C C++ F95 | Builds dynamic library search paths into the executable file. |
| -staticlib | C++ | Indicates which C++ libraries specified by the -library option (including its defaults), by the -xlang option, and by the -xia option are to be linked statically. |
| -xar | C++ | Creates archive libraries. |
| -xbuiltin | C C++ | Enables or disables better optimization of standard library calls. |

| -xia | F95 | Links the appropriate interval arithmetic libraries and sets a suitable floating-point environment. |
| -xlang | C++ F95 | Includes the appropriate runtime libraries and ensures the proper runtime environment for the specified language. |
| -xldscope | C C++ | Changes the default linker scoping for the definition of extern symbols. |
| -xlibmieee | C C++ | Causes libm to return IEEE 754 values for math routines in exceptional cases. |
| -xlibmil | C C++ F95 | Inlines selected library routines for optimization. |
| -xlibmopt | C C++ F95 | Uses a library of optimized math routines. |
| -xnativeconnect | C C++ | Includes interface information inside object file and subsequent shared libraries so that the shared library can interface with Java. |

| -xnolibmil | C C++ F95 | Cancels -xlibmil on the command line. |
| -xnolibmopt | C C++ F95 | Does not use the math routine library by turning off any previously specified -xlibmopt options. |
| -xstrconst | C | Inserts string literals into the read-only data section of the text segment instead of the default data segment. |
