Though I do first need to rebase on top of it and fix all the merge conflicts first... (Thinking about it, this likely means I have to excise some of the Microsoft linking logic out into the "regular" linking file since some of the Microsoft linking process is used by Windows linking in general, even with the gcc toolchain) Just a comment: Why not reuse the AR variable for lib rather than introduce an entirely new LIB variable? The logic treating lib.exe as ar is gone with this change, but that doesn't mean they have to be split into entirely different variables. LinkMicrosoft could just run $($1_AR) without treating it as ar. This saves one autoconf and Makefile variable ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/17987#issuecomment-1962272988
