[m-dev.] bootstrapping problem

[Fergus Henderson]

Simon,

Your change to remove the `--link-flags' option has caused a
bootstrapping problem, because `--link-flags' is still used
by the top-level `configure' script.  This causes the test
for "mmc sufficient recent" to always fail.

E.g. from config.log:

 | configure:796: checking whether /home/earth/public/mercury-latest/i686-pc-
 | linux-gnu/bin/mmc works and is sufficiently recent
 | /home/earth/public/mercury-latest/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/mmc conftest
 | mercury_compile: unrecognized option `--link-flags'
 | Mercury Compiler, version rotd-2003-02-07, configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu
 | Copyright (C) 1993-2002 The University of Melbourne
 | Usage: mmc [<options>] <arguments>
 | Use `mmc --help' for more information.

Could you please fix this?
