Summary: This flag is pretty canonical in ELF linkers, it allows us to force the link job to extract a library if it defines a specific symbol. This is mostly useful for letting us forcibly extract things that don't fit the normal model (i.e. kernels) from static libraries.
C language Family Front-end
Welcome to Clang.
This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages (C, C++ and Objective-C) which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project.
Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of different source-level tools. One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.
If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read the relevant websites. Here are some pointers:
