Bruce, I saw that -Wl, was for gcc to pass options to linker.
What does not make sense to me in the patch is the use of -Wl for DLINK, which should be mapped to ld, which should not require the Wl, prefix.

I came across that problem getting gcc 5.1 running using the GCC49 toolchain spec on FreeBSD last week: linker options have always (as far as I know) required -Wl to be passed through to ld, but it appears that gcc normally recognizes the ld options and passes them automatically but for some reason it doesn't happen in some cases. -- Bruce ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
