You can use '-Wc,', '-Wl,', '-Xcompiler ', or '-Xlinker ' to get command
line arguments to by-pass libtool mangling and interpretation, and end
up being passed to the compiler driver or the linker, respectively.
The arguments may be ordered differently on the resulting command line,
however.

IIUC then the rest may be had by makefile rules?

Cheers,
Ralf
