libtool replace -Xlinker by -Wl can lead to problems

[Nicolas Roche]

Hi,

I'm using libtool and I'm wondering why libtool is replacing -Xlinker
by -Wl (in link mode). Indeed if you pass the following argument to
libtool :

-Xlinker --stack=0x800000,0x10000

this will become

-Wl,--stack=0x800000,0x10000

and so the argument pass to ld will be :

--stack=0x800000 0x10000  :-(

On the other side replacing -Wl by -Xlinker will cause also problems
because you can pass several args to ld with Wl by separating args
with commas.

So there is any reason to replace -Xlinker with -Wl ???

Thanks in advance
