[Q] what to do with unknown flags

[Peter O'Gorman]

Hi,
There are quite a few Makefiles in packages which add flags without 
-Wl, or -Xlinker to LDADD and expect them to work (on darwin the most 
common is -framework name_of_framework), they don't appear in the link 
line for shared libs. I am unsure if this is by design or accident.

They appear when linking executables (they are in compile_command etc), 
but not in shared libraries.

Now, if I send a patch which puts flags unknown to libtool into 
compiler_flags and linker_flags unedited, am I likely to get anywhere?
