But that's exactly Caerwyn's point.
xCode is not a unix make file! It is a GUI IDE! Best practice should
not involve passing linker flags. Linker flags should be an
implementation detail that users don't care about. When one uses
CodeWarrior one never knows or needs to know how its linker works, for
all we know it uses ld or its own linker or magic elves.
I maintain that most of xCode's problems stem from its interface and
implementation not being well isolated. One is constantly needing to
know about gcc and ld in order to use xCode. This should not be exposed
to users. What if Apple wants to ditch gcc and use some new complier,
say from IBM or Intel? Well, unless it takes the same flags as gcc all
our projects need to change! Crappy.
