5# SYNOPSIS

7# AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_LDFLAGS([VARIABLE], [IS-RELEASE], [EXTRA-BASE-FLAGS], [EXTRA-YES-FLAGS])
8#
9# DESCRIPTION
10#
11# Add warning flags for the linker to VARIABLE, which defaults to
12# WARN_LDFLAGS. VARIABLE is AC_SUBST-ed by this macro, but must be
13# manually added to the LDFLAGS variable for each target in the code base.
14#
15# This macro depends on the environment set up by AX_COMPILER_FLAGS.
16# Specifically, it uses the value of $ax_enable_compile_warnings to decide
17# which flags to enable.
