Subject: MacOSX linker doesn't understand -R flag at all, no matter how you feed it
X-Git-Tag: v2.3c1~3843
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=628e3bf6cff73eb58b752450d89b6c3074369b0e;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

MacOSX linker doesn't understand -R flag at all, no matter how you feed it
the flag.  Punt and return a -L flag instead (returning "" gums up the
command to be forked).
