## Message

```
introduce a CLI flag to enable .so scripts; default off

The compiler defaults this value to off so that users whose system
shared libraries are all ELF files don't have to pay the cost of
checking every file to find out if it is a text file instead.

When a GNU ld script is encountered, the error message instructs users
about the CLI flag that will immediately solve their problem.

```
