Hmmm, that is strange because on our platform, CentOS 6.x, man ld says:

       -R filename
       --just-symbols=filename
           Read symbol names and their addresses from filename, but do not
           relocate it or include it in the output.  This allows your output
           file to refer symbolically to absolute locations of memory defined
           in other programs.  You may use this option more than once.

           For compatibility with other ELF linkers, if the -R option is
           followed by a directory name, rather than a file name, it is
           treated as the -rpath option.
