Summary: The "extends" attribute in the linker doesn't work

Initial Comment:
If I define a base linker and then use the "extends" flag to derive a new linker, it actually will not inherit any of the attributes from the base class at all.

I use:
  <linker id='BaseLinker' ><linkerarg value="-DBASEDEFINE"/></linker>
  <linker id='SubLinker' extends='BaseLinker'><linkerarg value="-DSUBDEFINE"/></linker>

  <cc ...>
    <linker refid='SubLinker'/>
     ...
  </cc>

When I actually link with "SubLinker" the "-DSUBDEFINE" gets printed on the command line, but the "-DBASEDEFINE" flag is missing:

  [cc] gcc -Wl,-DSUBDEFINE -shared -o out out.o

Thanks!
