Question：/usr/bin/ld: Warning: ......nvhpc.ld contains output sections; did you forget -T?

Accelerated Computing HPC Compilers nvc, nvc++ and nvfortran
1

I am using Kali Linux 2021.3 with nvhpc_sdk-20.7.
When I compiling a fortran or c++ code, it shows :

/usr/bin/ld: Warning: /opt/nvidia/hpc_sdk/Linux_x86_64/20.7/compilers/lib/nvhpc.ld contains output sections; did you forget -T?

but the codes can run normally. I renamed the file “nvhpc.ld” to “nvhpc.ld.bak”, and then compile the codes. It runs well without the warning message above.
So, what is the function of the file “nvhpc.ld” ? And, could I use nvhpc_sdk compilers without this file ?

nvhpc.ld is link script which fixes up the final binary with a few items but nothing that should prevent creating a working binary.

Note that this warning is due to a change in the linker and only occurs on more recent OS. We are aware of the issue and should have a fix available in an upcoming release.

I see. Thank you.
