RE: Don't use linker_flags when running CC

[Boehne, Robert]

Peter,

By design, linker_flags should be passed to the linker,
compiler_flags (which may be there for linking) should be passed
to the compiler driver even when linking.
I use LDFLAGS='-Wl,-bbigtoc' for everything I do under AIX,
and it links with xlC or g++ and the flag does get passed.  If that
doesn't work for Darwin, it should, and that problem should be fixed.
I'm guessing it works properly though.

Alexandre, I think you should check this in, you've got my approval.

Thanks,

Robert

So what exactly was the problem on solaris which prompts you to modify 
darwin archive_cmds?

Aren't all the linker_flags quoted and ${wl}'d ? Thus allowing them to 
be passed as arguments to $CC?

Sorry, this patch seems unlikely to have been tested on all the 
platforms which it applies to, so I'd like to know what the problem is 
that you are fixing.

Peter
