Dear tech-pkg@,

this could be important for pkgsrc on Darwin. Please read on.

As it came out after some googling and a short chat with David and
Alexander, the problem they have results because of passing malformed options
like (-Wl,,whatever) to Darwin's ld.

I am not quite sure if this is the same situation they occur, but
as it came out:

mk/defs.Darwin.mk define:
_OPSYS_RPATH_NAME=      -L      # darwin has no rpath, use -L instead

But, in turn in mk/buildlink2/gen-transforms.sh you have:
#       no-rpath                removes "-R*", "-Wl,-R", and "-Wl,-rpath,*"
#       sanitize-rpath          translates "-Wl,-R", and "-Wl,-rpath,*"
#                                       to whatever is appropriate

See? There is _no_ option, that would translate -Wl,-L "to whatever is
appropriate" (I have no idea what does this mean) -- there is also no option
to remove -Wl,-L (and such situation occurs propably on Darwin).

I might be totally wrong here, but it would be really nice if someone could
provide patches for Darwin's setting of "-Wl,-L" for gen-transforms.sh, send
it to those two gentlemen and see if this will help them.

(no wonder it was not in gen-transforms.sh, Darwin is the only system, which
use -L), 

Take care,
