In the initial conftest.c compilation, we include $CFLAGS:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/78dbe34925f04975f16cb9a5d4938be714d41897/build/autoconf/expandlibs.m4#17

However in the subsequent list checks we do not include CFLAGS
(e.g. https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/78dbe34925f04975f16cb9a5d4938be714d41897/build/autoconf/expandlibs.m4#19)

If CFLAGS contains something that would check the object file output (like, say -fuse-ld=lld) - then all of the list checks will fail.

Hm. So I'm not sure why; but this patch breaks the _Windows_ builds and causes them to select the list file type 'none' instead of their normal 'list'.  I'll have to investigate this.
Flags: needinfo?(tom)
So I traced this problem down to the fact that on Windows we add -TC to CFLAGS which forces the object file to be treated as a C file.
I have a successfull full try run just by removing -TC which doesn't seem to be required (at least based on TaskCluster output)...

I doubt this will harm anything (as evidenced by your try push), but it does give us a weird asymmetry with `CXXFLAGS` still including `-TP` below.

I really think at this point we should just drop all these configure tests and hardcode the list style based on the linker we know is in use, but this is fine to unblock the work you're doing.
