[swift-dev] Compile Error - Arch Linux

[Ryan Lovelett]

Dmitri,

Thanks for the extra set of eyes. I have confirmed that moving
'-lpthread -ldl' to either the beginning or end will allow that step to
succeed. The part that I'm stuck on is where that linker argument comes
from in the first place and how to reorder them. Do you happen to have
any insight on that?

For the 'final' package build script I plan to make my own preset for
arch linux that is based on 'mixin_linux_installation'. This is what
'buildbot_linux_1404' and 'buildbot_linux_1510' are based on. I just
want be able to consistently build before I start tweaking parameters.

Again thank you for your suggestions.
