Nice to see that you've added something to the test suite to prevent
this same problem from being re-introduced during future development.
:-)
One question about the test, though: are those linker flags simply
ignored by non-gcc compilers? I don't see anything in the CMakeLists
file for the test that determines whether the linker interprets
-Wl,--start-group etc. properly...?
Thx,
