Somebody?
Let me quote the request:
MSVC supports the following pragma, which can be used to automatically link a
library when a header file is included. This is used by for example Boost.
It makes linking with the right lib a lot simpler. No more fiddling
with autoconf to detect the right lib name.
#pragma comment(lib, "requiredLibrary.lib")
Unfortunately, gold doesn't support this. Could you add it?
I assume this needs coordination with gcc.
