No: aCC doesn't *do* linking; the system linker does that.

Presumably you are linking with archive libraries, and you want
the equivalent of the GNU-ld --whole-archive ...

AFAICT, there is no matching HP ld flag.

One way to achive that is to list all symbols you want to be included
in the link with '-u sym1 -u sym2 ...'

Another option is to "blow up" the archive:

mkdir tmp.$$ && cd tmp.$$ &&
ar x /path/to/archive.a &&
cd .. && aCC -o foo.exe main.o tmp.$$/*.o &&
rm -rf tmp.$$

There is +[no]forceload for IPF and PA64. And -Fl for PA32.
