Simple, but not ideal solution yet - PATH_MAX is assumed to be 4096. + * Stop assuming that LDFLAGS has flags only for the linker (LD). + It used to be true long time ago, when these flags were passed + directly to ld. Nowadays (for quite many years already) it happens + differently and ld is almost never called directly during build, + because it's the compiler that is used for performing linking stage + (so called CCLD, practically almost always the same as CC). + + The build process was already using CCLD (defaulting to CC's value), + but was prefixing all unprefixed flags in LDFLAGS with -Wl, prefix, + making it impossible to pass non-linker flags via LDFLAGS to CCLD. + No more! Now it's assumed that LDFLAGS are meant to be passed to + the compiler, so linker flags require explicit -Wl, prefix. + v1.1.1a (2018-01-02) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
