[M3devel] Linker override

[Jay K]

I don't know what is the ideal design here.

Of course you can easily skip the code on Windows:

if equal(OS_TYPE, "POSIX")
  SYSTEM_LD = "g++ -gstabs+ -m64 -fPIC -mno-align-double"
end

There is no gcc vs. g++ analog on Windows. Good.

I know we could hack and slash at it gradually:

m3makefile:
 USE_GPLUSPLUS = TRUE  ?
 USE_CPLUSPLUS_LINKER = TRUE ?
 USE_CPLUSPLUS = TRUE ?


and then check that wherever in the config files.


There is a need for some sort of modularity / additivity here.
But I don't know what the design and interface should look like.

Most likely this notion of "use cplusplus" needs to be unioned across all libraries being linked together.
