Or file a bug report with clang-cl? It seems odd that it'd support other

The original problem is with cl (MSVC). clang-cl is trying to be a
drop-in replacement
Microsoft documentation
<https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/compiler-command-line-syntax?view=msvc-170>
says that options can be preceded either by '/' or '-'. If -l is an
exception that's a little odd.
Anyway, I don't see Autoconf working around this syntax incompatibility
any time soon. Too many Autoconf users expect -l to work. The wrapper
script seems like the best way to go.
Do you think there could be a way to integrate Automake's compile [1]
script into Autoconf to automatically rewrite these calls?
A wrapper script like could be done, I suppose, if someone had the time
to do it and could volunteer patches.
