Here is the patch with the ld option check as well.

I had to make a few changes to Ron's original patch. One of the problems was that CFLAGS was being set as a := in the Makefile and was overwriting the += that was in Makefile.settings. So I added DISTRO_CFLAGS and DISTRO_LFLAGS for the two additonal flags. The reason for two was that the build-id option is only used during linking and generated warnings if used on a compile line and was not being pulled in for the linker lines. These defines were added to the appropriate places in the Makefile via the Config.lb file.

I could add the check to this patch (using awk to check ld) to add the
-Wl option to the EXTRA_CFLAGS.


cool! I'll take it and add it.
