This option passes a linker option directly to the linker.
If -Xlinker -shared is specified, only -shared is passed to the linker and no special work is done to ensure proper linkage for generating a shared object. -Xlinker just takes whatever arguments are supplied and passes them directly to the linker.
If you want to pass compound options to the linker, for example "-L $HOME/lib", you must use one of the following methods:
-Xlinker -L -Xlinker $HOME/lib
-Xlinker "-L $HOME/lib"
-Xlinker -L\ $HOME/lib
