1 /* prefix-args.c - echo each argument, prefixed by a string. | |
2 Jim Blandy <jimb@occs.cs.oberlin.edu> - September 1992 | |

4 When using GCC 2 as the linker in the build process, options | |
5 intended for the linker need to be prefixed with the "-Xlinker" | |
6 option. If an option takes an argument, we need to use -Xlinker | |
7 twice - once for the option and once for its argument. For | |
8 example, to run the linker with the options "-Bstatic" "-e" | |
9 "_start", you'd need to pass the following options to GCC: | |
10 | |
11 -Xlinker -Bstatic -Xlinker -e -Xlinker _start. | |
12 | |
13 The Emacs makefile used to use a Bourne Shell `for' loop to prefix | |
14 each linker option with "-Xlinker", but 1) the for loop was hairier | |
15 than one might hope because it had to work when there were no | |
16 arguments to pass to the linker - the shell barfs on a loop like | |
17 this: | |
18 | |
19 for arg in ; do echo -Xlinker "$arg"; done | |
20 | |
21 and 2) the whole compilation command containing this loop seems to | |
22 exit with a non-zero status and halt the build under Ultrix. | |
23 | |
24 If I can't write a completely portable program to do this in C, | |
25 I'm quitting and taking up gardening. */ | |
