Ben,
By "linker" I am referring to ld, the compiler driver "cc" will
call the linker (ld) to actually do the linking. As Alexandre pointed
out, the difference between $linker_flags and $compiler_flags is that
flags that should be passed to ld get -Wl, (or the appropriate alternative)
appended to them so that ld (the linker) will interpret them.
Perhaps $linker_flags should have been called $ld_flags but that
assumes the linker is always "ld".
Thanks,
Robert

Yes, And as Peter said, "CC" IS the LINKER on DARWIN. :) Therefore,
they should be passed, by your own logic. :) (you just told him he
could remove them!)
I can't see how this patch will work at all, because now the
linker_flags don't get used at all when linking on darwin. Thats OK to
check in by your logic? There is no reason to even test it, it
obviously won't work.
