clang-10: error: unknown argument: '-znow' 
clang-10: error: unsupported option `--whole-archive` 
clang-10: error: unsupported option `--no-whole-archive` 
clang-10: error: unknown argument: `-soname`

Problem

Clang transfers options in a method different from that of GCC. Clang requires -Wl to be added to some parameters before they are transferred to the linker.

These parameters include but are not limited to:

• -znow
• --whole-archive
• --no-whole-archive
• -soname

If unknown argument or unsupported option is displayed and the option is to be transferred to the linker, -Wl must be added to the option.

Solution

Add -Wl, before these parameters. An example is as follows:

1

-Wl,-znow -Wl,--whole-archive -Wl,--no-whole-archive -Wl,-soname
