 Note that, on *nix systems, shareable libraries can be specified directly
on the command line, without having to go through options files. Why does
the VMS linker need options files for this common case?

/SHARE in command line means producing a shareable image.
/SHARE in option file means linking with a shareable image.
Different meaning based on context.
