serge-sans-paille ec42dc40f9 Bug 1892198 - No longer support linkerscript style for moz_expand_libs r=glandium
@file are supported by gcc since gcc 7 and by clang since clang 3.x,
which removes the need for linker script to list input files.

We cannot directly use @file from the compiler driver (it would expand
to a large number of arguments and hit the linker limit) so pass
-Wl,@FILE instead, which is supported since binutils 2.17.

As a side effect this removes the LTO dependency from the check.

This directory contains common Python code.

The basic rule is that if Python code is cross-module (that's "module" in the
Mozilla meaning - as in "module ownership") and is MPL-compatible, it should
go here.

What should not go here:

* Vendored python modules (use third_party/python instead)
* Python that is not MPL-compatible (see other-licenses/)
* Python that has good reason to remain close to its "owning" (Mozilla)
  module (e.g. it is only being consumed from there).
