Option -link tries to link ink.lib about cccl

[wsfulton]

Can you show the entire cccl command executed? I suspect it has -link in the list of command line options, which means link against the ink library, so cccl is doing the right thing. All you have shown is what is passed to libtool.

I've stumbled upon the same issue.

Here's the output of make V=1:

I believe the arguments -link -dll originate from here:
https://github.com/autotools-mirror/libtool/blob/544fc0e2c2a03129a540aebef41ad32bfb5c06b8/m4/libtool.m4#L5627-L5642

libtool should be passing /link not -link as it is adding options for cl not cc. However, I suspect under msys the options only work when being passed as - not /, so I'll make a change for cccl to handle -link' the same as it does /link'. It does mean that it will not be possible to convert -link into linking with the ink.lib. Unfortunate tradeoff.
