The desired outcome of this change is that we'll set -Wl,--version-script based on linker kind and not on the output of $LINKER -v. This is a cheap way to address a simple problem that has a complicated ideal solution. The underlying issue is that in some situations, when targeting Android, a macOS system ld is interrogated to determine if a cross-compiling linker "is GNU ld" and a particular linker feature is set in that situation. The macOS system ld doesn't pass the "is GNU ld" test, and the linker feature isn't set; that causes link failures, even though the actual linker has nothing to do with the system ld. The ideal solution is to test for linker capabilities dynamically. We do a lot of that in old-configure.in, and we don't do any of that in toolchain.configure. Rather than start testing in toolchain.configure, we hard-code: a cheap solution to the immediate problem. MinGW suffers somewhat from the opposite problem: the linker "is GNU ld" (compatible), but the linker checks don't happen at all. We hard-code for MinGW based on the C compiler instead.

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).
