Having the $c{ldflags} appear in compiletestc is showing warnings on Win32
since the linker flags mean nothing to the compiler. I'm assuming that's not
the case with gcc. It doesn't seem to have any adverse affect for now (aside
from the ugly warning messages) but there is a chance that some linker
option can mean something entirely different to the compiler in the future.
Would this be a good reason to override compiletestc in hints/mswin32.pl?
Looking at hints/vms.pl, I see that it overrode compiletestc so that it can
compile and link in two seperate steps. Could we do that for all platforms
in order to avoid overriding and duplicating code?
