It comes from somewhere else; most likely from libtool back in the days before libtool decided to use the LT_ macro namespace instead of infringing on autoconf, and still exists in libtool today for backwards compatibility. At a birds-eye level, it is similar to AC_CHECK_TOOL([LD], [ld], ...) for finding the appropriate cross-linker. But in general, you are better off using $CC instead of $LD for linking, as your compiler may know additional things that you would have to manually supply on the command line to a raw linker. -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
