It seems that libtool is set up to strip unrecognized flags unless using something like -Wc,flag. Can anyone give me a brief answer as to why? I often find myself going through hoops to get flags past
The reason for the odd behavior is that libtool needs to know which options should be applied to the compiler, and which should be applied to the linker. Only libtool knows if the compiler is used for linking, or if the system linker is used to link. If the system linker is used to link, then only linker options are safe to apply.
