5# SYNOPSIS
6#
7# AX_CHECK_LINK_FLAG(FLAG, [ACTION-SUCCESS], [ACTION-FAILURE], [EXTRA-FLAGS], [INPUT])
8#
9# DESCRIPTION
10#
11# Check whether the given FLAG works with the linker or gives an error.
12# (Warnings, however, are ignored)
13#
14# ACTION-SUCCESS/ACTION-FAILURE are shell commands to execute on
15# success/failure.
16#
17# If EXTRA-FLAGS is defined, it is added to the linker's default flags
18# when the check is done. The check is thus made with the flags: "LDFLAGS
19# EXTRA-FLAGS FLAG". This can for example be used to force the linker to
20# issue an error when a bad flag is given.
21#
22# INPUT gives an alternative input source to AC_LINK_IFELSE.
23#
24# NOTE: Implementation based on AX_CFLAGS_GCC_OPTION. Please keep this
25# macro in sync with AX_CHECK_{PREPROC,COMPILE}_FLAG.
