I think most link errors are because the user forgot to include --make? If that is the case, and the linker returned a failure, then it might be a worthwhile hint to give. > I'm not convinced it's entirely sensible to try to parse the output of the > linker (and do something reasonable on all platforms, with all versions of > gcc), but it is certainly worth thinking about. I'd say it was a bad idea. You shouldn't interpret someone elses textual error messages, as it gives you a very tight binding to something entirely outside your control.
