[master] 2001b7e DEVELOPER_CFLAGS: - use -fstack-protector only if both compiler and linker support it - use -Wno-missing-field-initializers vs -Wno-extra depending on compiler support - -Wno-pointer-sign only if compiler supports it - add -Wno-address to avoid "the address of ‘buf’ will never be NULL" warning in cache_backend_cfg.c (and in other places where REPLACE() is used with local buf variable)

+#
+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_CHECK_LINK_FLAG(FLAG, [ACTION-SUCCESS], [ACTION-FAILURE], [EXTRA-FLAGS], [INPUT])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Check whether the given FLAG works with the linker or gives an error.
+#   (Warnings, however, are ignored)
+#
+#   ACTION-SUCCESS/ACTION-FAILURE are shell commands to execute on
+#   success/failure.
+#
+#   If EXTRA-FLAGS is defined, it is added to the linker's default flags
+#   when the check is done.  The check is thus made with the flags: "LDFLAGS
+#   EXTRA-FLAGS FLAG".  This can for example be used to force the linker to
+#   issue an error when a bad flag is given.
+#
+#   INPUT gives an alternative input source to AC_LINK_IFELSE.
+#
+#   NOTE: Implementation based on AX_CFLAGS_GCC_OPTION. Please keep this
+#   macro in sync with AX_CHECK_{PREPROC,COMPILE}_FLAG.
