Hello, This change prepares the ground prior to the reintroduction of shared libs support for VxWorks. On this platform, the use of shared libraries involves unusual steps compared to standard native systems and enforcing static links by default improves user experience. This change arranges for the driver to insert a '-static' option by default for this purpose. g++ makes choices depending on such options from its lang_specific_driver, so our default needs to be conveyed before that and specs aren't handled early enough. We then proceed by defining a GCC_DRIVER_HOST_INITIALIZATION macro for VxWorks, to insert a -static option in case the user hasn't provided any explicit indication on the command line of the kind of link desired. While a HOST macro doesn't seem appropriate to control a target OS driven behavior, this matches other uses and won't conflict as VxWorks is not supported on any of the other configurations using this macro, and we expect at least warnings if a not a plain failure if a build with conflicting definitions is attempted. We have been using this in gcc-11 based production compilers for a while. I have performed a couple of build+test cycles on gcc-12 for powerpc64-vxworks7r2 and powerpc-vxworks6.9, and did a sanity checking build of all-gcc for arm-wrs-vxworks7r2.
