We fail to link preloader when CFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.7" (because configure check also includes CFLAGS).
To make sure I understand: the problem is that, when CFLAGS already contains "-mmacosx-version-min=10.7", the WINE_TRY_CFLAGS() just above doesn't detect that the preloader needs that flag for linking and it's not added to WINEPRELOADER_LDFLAGS, right?
That suggests that WINE_TRY_CFLAGS() isn't the right macro to use for those checks. We'd want a hypothetical WINE_TRY_LDFLAGS(). Or, perhaps, it's enough to temporarily clear CFLAGS around those checks.
Yes, that's the problem.
I don't think we can clear CFLAGS completely. It might contain options that are needed during test compilation. We can remove some of the options from CFLAGS but I don't think it's better.
The WINE_TRY_LDFLAGS like macro will need to divide the check phase into compilation phase (that uses CFLAGS) and linking phase. This will probably leave a temporary file if configure is killed between this steps. I don't know if it's something that can be done in clean way.
Thanks, Piotr
