I've made it clear in the next release that not all implicit variables that are predefined by GNU make are shown in the tables in the manual, and provided a command that can be used to have GNU make generate a complete list of all built in rules and variables to stdout.

The info file for gnu Make, /usr/info/make.info*, node "Implicit Variables" (that seems to be inteded to list all implicit variables) does not inform me about LOADLIBES. I have verified that the variable LOADLIBES is mentioned only once in the documentation, and then only indirectly while describing exactly what compilation command is run.


Fortunately, the node, "Catalogue of Rules", does say something about it:

  Linking a single object file
       `N' is made automatically from `N.o' by running the linker
(usually called `ld') via the C compiler.  The precise       command used is `$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) N.o $(LOADLIBES)'.

but this wasn't the place I looked for it. If this is not meant to be a user modifiable variable, then perhaps a note to the effect would be desirable.

I'd appreciate it if you could put in a CC to -email is unavailable- in any reply so that our bug tracking system has a log of your input.
