# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_APPEND_LINK_FLAGS([FLAG1 FLAG2 ...], [FLAGS-VARIABLE], [EXTRA-FLAGS], [INPUT])
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   For every FLAG1, FLAG2 it is checked whether the linker works with the
#   flag.  If it does, the flag is added FLAGS-VARIABLE
#
#   If FLAGS-VARIABLE is not specified, the linker's flags (LDFLAGS) is
#   used. During the check the flag is always added to the linker's flags.
#
#   If EXTRA-FLAGS is defined, it is added to the linker's default flags
#   when the check is done.  The check is thus made with the flags: "LDFLAGS
#   EXTRA-FLAGS FLAG".  This can for example be used to force the linker to
#   issue an error when a bad flag is given.
#
#   INPUT gives an alternative input source to AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
#
#   NOTE: This macro depends on the AX_APPEND_FLAG and AX_CHECK_LINK_FLAG.
#   Please keep this macro in sync with AX_APPEND_COMPILE_FLAGS.
