Re: [PATCH] scripts: refine static linking check to better guide the user

[Daniel Price]

Minor commentary: I implemented Yann's suggested cleanups-- thanks,
it's vastly better, and should be easier to extend in the future.  And
I also pushed this stuff down just slightly in the code so that (a) we
can test using the CFLAGS we've derived and (b) we can note to the
user the high level point: testing that the host compiler is working--
which seems like a separate activity from "Building Environment."
Yann, if you disagree I can of course move it back up.
