1407 - autoconfig does not invoke linker correctly on OpenBSD/i386

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect, P2)

Description

[kstailey]

OpenBSD/i386 2.4 comes with gcc 2.8.1, but uses the customized GNU ld that it
inherited from NetBSD.  Certain other OpenBSD architectures use binutils ld.

This patch works for i386, at least it's a start:

I modified your patch slightly, in the hope that it'll now work
for non-x86 OpenBSD versions as well.  Let me know if I broke
you....  Checked into revision 1.89.
