-This twisty little maze is very hard to follow. Here is what is
-happening:
-
-The first non-flagged argument has already been pulled from the arg list
-and stashed in "nonopt".
-
-The script assumes that the last unrecognized argument must, perforce,
-be the name of the file being compiled. We know we are compiling and
-not producing an executable because we were told so, or else we stumbled
-upon a ``-c'' command line argument. Therefore, the command won't end
-with library names.
-
-We strip out all the options we recognize and stuff the information
-into shell variables. Everything else gets dropped into the "base_compile"
-shell variable massaged so that when it is eval-ed, the compiler will
-see the same characters as we have here in our arguments. It's an
-ugly process that goes through two layers of quoting: double quotes
-inside of single quotes.
-
-A final interesting note: -Xcompiler can appear anywhere and the following
+NOTE: -Xcompiler can appear anywhere and the following
argument will be inserted whereever we happen to be in the "base_compile"
variable. It is not clear what the purpose here is, but if it is supposed
to mark the compiler, then it won't work unless it is the first argument.
