The linker says it got empty library argument. Because you can't parse it
via commandline, it is quite obvious that gcc passes just "-l" or similar to
ld. The only chance it got there is -Wl,-l, or -Wl,, or similar. Maybe
because -Wl,-R is not stripped on Darwin (just because it is -Wl,-L) -> then
only -R would be stripped... and here you are, -Wl, or -Wl,,

I'd go in this direction with examining this situation.

I'm curious, how will it work for 7.0
