  22    When using GCC 2 as the linker in the build process, options
  23    intended for the linker need to be prefixed with the "-Xlinker"
  24    option.  If an option takes an argument, we need to use -Xlinker
  25    twice - once for the option and once for its argument.  For
  26    example, to run the linker with the options "-Bstatic" "-e"
  27    "_start", you'd need to pass the following options to GCC:
  28
  29    -Xlinker -Bstatic -Xlinker -e -Xlinker _start.
  30
  31    The Emacs makefile used to use a Bourne Shell `for' loop to prefix
  32    each linker option with "-Xlinker", but 1) the for loop was hairier
  33    than one might hope because it had to work when there were no
  34    arguments to pass to the linker - the shell barfs on a loop like
  35    this:
  36
  37        for arg in ; do echo -Xlinker "$arg"; done
  38
  39    and 2) the whole compilation command containing this loop seems to
  40    exit with a non-zero status and halt the build under Ultrix.
  41
  42    If I can't write a completely portable program to do this in C,
  43    I'm quitting and taking up gardening.  */
