Unhappily, neither *user-cc-flags* nor *ld-flags* allows me to get the desired result: the former is not used by build-program, and the latter is only used *after* passing the list of .a, too late for a -Wl,--whole-archive. Moreover, on Darwin and/or with lld, I need to use -Wl,-force_load before each individual .a instead, and the current interface won't allow that.
What about the proposed usage of :ld-flags passed to the builder?
I tried to link .o files directly, instead of .a files, but ran into a different ECL issue regarding slot inheritance; see my other email about that.
Thanks for the report.
PS: Regarding using c:build-program instead of c::builder :program, when was the change made? Do I need to care about supporting older versions of ECL?
It's in place since 2001 (or earlier) according to git blame.
