+The recognized keywords are:
+@table @samp
+
+@item combreloc
+Combines multiple reloc sections and sorts them to make dynamic symbol
+lookup caching possible.
+
+@item defs
+Disallows undefined symbols.
+
+@item initfirst
+This option is only meaningful when building a shared object.
+It marks the object so that its runtime initialization will occur
+before the runtime initialization of any other objects brought into
+the process at the same time. Similarly the runtime finalization of
+the object will occur after the runtime finalization of any other
+objects.
+
+@item interpose
+Marks the object that its symbol table interposes before all symbols
+but the primary executable.
+
+@item loadfltr
+Marks the object that its filters be processed immediately at
+runtime.
+
+@item muldefs
+Allows multiple definitions.
+
+@item nocombreloc
+Disables multiple reloc sections combining.
+
+@item nocopyreloc
+Disables production of copy relocs.
+
+@item nodefaultlib
+Marks the object that the search for dependencies of this object will
+ignore any default library search paths.
+
+@item nodelete
+Marks the object shouldn't be unloaded at runtime.
+
+@item nodlopen
+Marks the object not available to @code{dlopen}.
+
+@item nodump
+Marks the object can not be dumped by @code{dldump}.
+
+@item now
+When generating an executable or shared library, mark it to tell the
+dynamic linker to resolve all symbols when the program is started, or
+when the shared library is linked to using dlopen, instead of
+deferring function call resolution to the point when the function is
+first called.
+
+@item origin
+Marks the object may contain $ORIGIN.
+
+@end table
