Re: [PATCH] link -lintl at the end

Sorry, my reply went to just you, not the mailing list.

I tried, and yes, that variation works too, placed just after
`lib/libgnu.a`. Needs to be linked at the end but not necessarily the
last linked library, at least for now.

That last one translates as this on my side

    gcc  -ggdb -O2 -pipe -Wall -Werror=format-security
-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 -fstack-protector-strong
--param=ssp-buffer-size=4
-ffile-prefix-map=/tmp/ramfs/nano-8.4-1.x86_64/build=/usr/src/debug/nano-8.4-1
-ffile-prefix-map=/tmp/ramfs/nano-8.4-1.x86_64/src/nano-8.4=/usr/src/debug/nano-8.4-1
-Wall   -o nano.exe browser.o chars.o color.o cut.o files.o global.o
help.o history.o move.o nano.o prompt.o rcfile.o search.o text.o
utils.o winio.o ../lib/libgnu.a -lintl    -lz -lmagic  -lncursesw

But... WHY? I sense your question is "Please fill the air with your
intelligence, enlighten me on those compiler and linker mysteries so
that I too can bask in superior programming skills." Unfortunately, I
can't say much more than:

1. That works now.
2. The FAQ of GNU gettext (linked above) advises to do that.
