#3415: fails to build on OS X because of --exclude-libs

 Priority:  high                   |  Milestone:  PostGIS 2.2.1
Component:  build/upgrade/install  |    Version:  2.2.x

-----------------------------------+---------------------------
 Version 2.2.0 fails to build on OS X for me because of the use of the new
 --exclude-libs linker option. The configure test for that is incorrect,
 because it checks --exclude-libs as a compiler option but then later uses
 it as a linker option.  Both clang and gcc will ignore a linker option
 when run with the -c option, so the test always succeeds even though the
 option is not supported by the system linker.  In other words, this check
 doesn't work correctly.

 I suggest you change the configure test to use AC_LIBTOOL_LINKER_OPTION
 instead of AC_LIBTOOL_COMPILER_OPTION.
