RE: passing flags to the librarian

[Duft Markus]

Hi!

You may wanr to have a look at parity
(http://www.sf.net/projects/parity). It was written more or less to be
more powerfull than cccl (but for now is only tested with interix, not
cygwin).

Also parity comes with a patch for libtool to behave nicely, and i also
have a bunch of patches we required to be able to build pcre (on other
systems too, not only windows) - i attached them here (apply in source
directory with "patch -p1 < patchfile").

Hope that helps.

P.S.: have you tried ARFLAGS='/LTCG'?

Cheers, Markus
