ld_args.extend(objects) # list of object files
+ # XXX the command-line syntax for Borland C++ is a bit wonky;
+ # certain filenames are jammed together in one big string, but
+ # comma-delimited. This doesn't mesh too well with the
+ # Unix-centric attitude (with a DOS/Windows quoting hack) of
+ # 'spawn()', so constructing the argument list is a bit
+ # awkward. Note that doing the obvious thing and jamming all
+ # the filenames and commas into one argument would be wrong,
+ # because 'spawn()' would quote any filenames with spaces in
+ # them. Arghghh!. Apparently it works fine as coded...
