Unless the cc(1), hc(1), and other related compiler manual pages are
altered to include all the load-time options, the "-Z" options should
not be included. "-Z" is a flag that is passed from "cc", "hc", "pcc",
"hc2", etc to /bin/ld, and documentation on the -Z option can be found
in the ld(1) man page. In the compiler man pages, it is mentioned that
for load-time options that one must also consult ld(1):
RT hc(1):
The following options are interpreted by hc. See ld(1) for
load-time options. (By convention, options applicable only
VAX cc(1):
The following options are interpreted by cc. See ld(1) for
load-time options.
The ld(1) man page was changed during the 6.1A release. However, it may
be a good idea to advertise this option to the development community in
another way, perhaps in the "Changes that may affect users in Release 6.1".

Last I looked, the "cc" man page didn't mention the "-Z" option, also
because of the ZOMAGIC changes.
