When adding configure tests, where does one place flags intended for the compilation phase but not the linking phase? The flag I need to add (-x objective-c) doesn't seem like it should be a problem, but for some reason, using it when linking causes gcc to enter compile mode, rather than linking mode.
Right now, it appears that adding items to either CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS, they all end up in LD (CFLAGS directly, and CPPFLAGS via DEFINES). It seems to me that CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS should be independent of each other (though I imagine it might occur that certain flags are used in both modes).
