-# The --whole-archive option is important here. From the GNU linker's

-#
-# For each archive mentioned on the command line after the
-# --whole-archive option, include every object file in the archive in
-# the link, rather than searching the archive for the required object
-# files.
-#
-# In our case, we find the plugins thanks to special sections in the
-# binary that are filled by plugin objects. If the linker discards those
-# symbols because the CLI does not use them directly, the CLI reports
-# no plugins found (plugins are effectively not embedded).
