Comment(by guest):

 I tested both on Darwin 8 and Darwin 9 (no Darwin 10 here, sorry), same
 result on both.

 Mach-O does not support GNU linker scripts.  They don't need those either,
 since references are absolute (install_name), hence a symlink will do.

 FWIW:
 On Gentoo they are mostly used because of a preference of GCC to link
 statically iso shared when a static archive is found first.  The linker
 script (.so) is put right next to it, such that GCC will decide to make a
 shared link instead.  The GNU linker then follows the script from /usr/lib
 to the real library object in /lib at link time when invoked from GCC.
