No.

It does not.  There is nothing exactly analogous.  There are two similar options in ld64:

-all_load
Loads all members of static archive libraries.

-force_load path_to_archive
Loads all members of the specified static archive library.  Note: -all_load forces all members
of all archives to be loaded.  This option allows you to target a specific archive.


-force_load would be ideal if we had a contract that the arguments to the macro were always static archives that we built for inclusion in the library.  I tried that first, and it didn't work because the macro is called with arguments other than just static archives that we had built.  -all_load is thus the ideal choice, and it's also used elsewhere in the build already.
