Subject: build: Use cc.links to check linker arguments
X-Git-Tag: archive/raspbian/4.4.1+ds1-2+rpi1^2~18^2~22^2~418^2~3
X-Git-Url: https://dgit.raspbian.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ff1dd5009c4c8367975662393988b5fc5d7f03e6;p=gtk4.git

build: Use cc.links to check linker arguments

Instead of hard-coding linker flags for a specific operating system and
a specific compiler, we can should cc.links to test them, so they can be
used on more operating systems and compilers.
