Summary: Can not extend a compiler task to an extended compiler task.

Initial Comment:
I can not extend a compiler task to a compiler task that is already extended.

example:

<compiler id="x"/>
<compiler id="y" extends="x"/>
<compiler id="z" extends="y"/>

<cc ...>
    <compiler refid="z"/>
</cc>

In a my real world code I get a message saying:
[cpptasks:cc] 0 total files to be compiled.
[cpptasks:cc] Starting link
[cpptasks:cc] ar: creating libincore.a

If I cc's compiler task refs "y"... it works!

Also, libincore.a contains the following when I ref "z":
!<arch>

That is a little odd... I would atleast expect it to be empty.
