The Makefile used to suppress output (by using @), so this target made sense at
the time.
But the Makefile should be simple and make debugging with less abstractions or
fancy printing. The Makefile was made verbose and doesn't hide the build
output, so remove this target.
Prompted by a question on the mailing list about the options target.
This reverts commit 274d46ace0.
Sorry, the original commit was correct after all. It allows has the
correct link order and supports static-linking also.
Just a reminder: it is important to give a (brief) rationale of the
patch intentions.
This reverts commit 7f990328e4.
this was wrong as pointed out by k0ga:
"STLDFLAGS is about flags to the linker, for example -L
not about -l for that reason it must go before the object list".
Due to consideration of POSIX compliance issues config.mk had
to be removed. Configuration variables can be overridden by
environment variables or specified via command line.
Additionally all pretty-printed messages were removed and
built-in rules are used. This also simplifies and purges
the Makefile.
