[swift-build-dev] extra compiler / linker options (PR #75)

[Drew Crawford]

I've noticed that this failed PR:

https://github.com/apple/swift-package-manager/pull/75 <https://github.com/apple/swift-package-manager/pull/75>

Provides either a solution or a workaround for all of these open bugs:

* https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-397 <https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-397>
* https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-415 <https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-415> (possible dupe of SR-397)
* https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-235 <https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-235>
* https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-145 <https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-145>
* https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-83 <https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-83>

Can we resurrect this PR, possibly with a deprecation warning discouraging the feature's use, so as to mitigate fully 20% of the open SwiftPM bugs?

I understand the motivation why not to have this feature, but I think it may provide an effective bandaid while we are focusing on other things (testing).
