[Qemu-devel] Mac: your linker does not support --whole-archive or -z

[Qemu-devel] Mac: your linker does not support --whole-archive or -z

[C.W. Betts]

I recently got my git tree up and running again, but I encountered  
this error when trying to configure it:
Error: your linker does not support --whole-archive or -z.
Please report to qemu-devel@nongnu.org

I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.7

Can someone point me to the manual for the OS X linker?  I'm surprised 
it's not GNU ld...

Does this patch help?  Make sure to do configure and a full build.

for some odd reason, it needs two -all_load in order to work.  Like so:

check_linker_flags needs to be smarter... But with -all_load, QEMU 
compiles and things work as you'd expect?  Can you verify that qemu-img 
help output shows multiple supported formats?

Looks good with -all_load.
