#112 CIL does not use all the linking flags

CIL does not use all the linking flags

It seems that CIL 1.3.7 gets confused when a program passes something
like -Wl,--export-dynamic, while CIL 1.3.6 did not show this problem.

I'm attaching a testcase that demonstrates this. Although we issue:

cilly -o test_main_merged_last -Wl,--export-dynamic
test_main_merged_last_main.c test_main_merged_last_lib.c

eventually CIL issues:

gcc -D_GNUCC -o
test_main_merged_last /tmp/cil-gjDUCj1W.o /tmp/cil-LuCLI4nH.o
--export-dynamic

So, it misses passing the complete "-Wl,--export-dynamic". It only
passed "--export-dynamic"

This seems to have been introduced in r9420.

Thanks for the support. This is fixed in latest git.

Fix #2832120: cilly does not pass linker flags

The "-Wl," wrapper for linker flags used to be stripped, which caused
linker flags to be ignored.

The new behaviour preserves "-Wl,". Note that this might break library
linking (when ld is called directly by cilly); no idea how to fix that
currently.
