The new code replaces the link-only operation with a compile+link operation. Shouldn't the pre-existing compile-only operation be removed, since the new compile+link operation supersedes it?

Hi Ravi,

This change:

>> -     ${LD} -o ${.TARGET} -r --whole-archive ${.ALLSRC}
>> +     ${CC} -nostdlib ${CFLAGS} -o ${.TARGET} -r -Wl,--whole-archive ${.ALLSRC}

is not actually compiling, it's just invoking the compiler driver to
in turn invoke the linker. The input in ${.ALLSRC} is still a
collection of object files.
