# gl_IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES
# --------------------------
# Determines the option to be passed to the C/C++/Fortran compiler, so that it
# omits unused libraries.
# Example (on Solaris):
# $ cc foo.c -lnsl; ldd ./a.out
#         libnsl.so.1 =>   /lib/libnsl.so.1
#         libc.so.1 =>     /lib/libc.so.1
#         libmp.so.2 =>    /lib/libmp.so.2
#         libmd.so.1 =>    /lib/libmd.so.1
#         libscf.so.1 =>   /lib/libscf.so.1
#         libdoor.so.1 =>  /lib/libdoor.so.1
#         libuutil.so.1 =>         /lib/libuutil.so.1
#         libgen.so.1 =>   /lib/libgen.so.1
#         libm.so.2 =>     /lib/libm.so.2
# $ cc foo.c -lnsl -Wl,-z,ignore; ldd ./a.out
#         libc.so.1 =>     /lib/libc.so.1
#         libm.so.2 =>     /lib/libm.so.2
#
# Note that the option works only for the C compiler, not for the C++
# compiler:
# - Sun C likes '-Wl,-z,ignore'.
#   '-Qoption ld -z,ignore' is not accepted.
#   '-z ignore' is accepted but has no effect.
# - Sun C++ and Sun Fortran like '-Qoption ld -z,ignore'.
#   '-Wl,-z,ignore' is not accepted.
#   '-z ignore' is accepted but has no effect.
#
# Sets and substitutes a variable that depends on the current language:
# - IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS    for C
# - IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CXXFLAGS  for C++
# - IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_FFLAGS    for Fortran
#
# Note that the option works only for direct invocation of the compiler, not
# through libtool: When libtool is used to create a shared library, it will
# honor and translate '-Wl,-z,ignore' to '-Qoption ld -z -Qoption ld ignore'
# if needed, but it will drop a '-Qoption ld -z,ignore' on the command line.
