Filipe Manana commented on COUCHDB-1033:
----------------------------------------
"For example, the ICU driver is linked to SpiderMonkey."
I'm confused about this statement.
If an object file A doesn't refer to symbols from some other object file B, is
A still linked with B?

> configure.ac currently constructs a massive CPPFLAGS used for all
> compilation. As a result, unnecessary linking occurs. For example, the ICU
> driver is linked to SpiderMonkey.
> I believe it would be good practice to prevent this sort of needless linking.
