# Add --disable-auto-import to the LDFLAGS if the linker supports it.
# GNU ld has an --enable-auto-import option, and it is the default on Cygwin
# since July 2005. But it has three fatal drawbacks:
# - It produces executables and shared libraries with relocations in the
# .text segment, defeating the principles of virtual memory.
# - For some constructs such as
# extern int var;
# int * const b = &var;
# it creates an executable that will give an error at runtime, rather
# than either a compile-time or link-time error or a working executable.
# (This is with both gcc and g++.) Whereas this code, not relying on
# auto-import:
# extern __declspec (dllimport) int var;
# int * const b = &var;
# gives a compile-time error with gcc and works with g++.
# - It doesn't work in some cases (references to a member field of an
# exported struct variable, or to a particular element of an exported
# array variable), requiring code modifications. One platform
# dictates code modifications on all platforms.
