Outputs the external-symbol-allocation information file that is used by the compiler in optimizing access to external variables.

When <file name> is not specified, the file has the name specified by the output option or the name of the first input file, and the extension bls.

If the order of the declaration of variables in the external-symbol-allocation information file is not the same as the order of the declaration of variables found when the object was read after compilations, an error will be output.

This option is valid only when form={absolute | hexadecimal | stype | binary} is specified.
