Which one?  Where did you get it from?  There are multiple variations.  I 
think there is at least one in the groups files section.  I know there is 
one with the newlib port I did and with some of the packaged GCC ARM ports 
out there.

You could check the documentation for ld.

Basically, this file will tell ld where to place each 'segment' of code and 
data generated by the compiler and assembler.  For the LPC and similar 
micros that means it 'tells' ld what foes in flash, what goes in RAM, and 
what is placed in flash to be copied to RAM by the startup.  It also tells 
the startup where to place the stack and in some cases what order to place 
some things in.

In some instances the special function registers are also defined in the file.
