I would suggest explicit listing of --skin=posix|cobalt, thus this patch: http://git.xenomai.org/xenomai-jki.git/commit/?h=for-forge&id=eb8a1d4a69836c073461947eaab775b5fc7c01aa. That is more consistent because there is no way to disable that wrapping (except for fragile filtering on the returned ldflags).
