# SYNOPSIS
#
# AX_CHECK_LINKER_FLAGS(FLAGS, [ACTION-SUCCESS], [ACTION-FAILURE])
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
# Check whether the given linker FLAGS work with the current language's
# linker, or whether they give an error.
#
# ACTION-SUCCESS/ACTION-FAILURE are shell commands to execute on
# success/failure.
#
# NOTE: Based on AX_CHECK_COMPILER_FLAGS.
