Can you add a test for this? |

Added a test, but can't test it unfortunately, as |

This can also just be a normal run-pass test, using the compile-flags directive (docs), i.e.
<license block>
// Notice the space at the end, this emulates the output of pkg-config
// compile-flags:--linkargs "-lc "
fn main() {}I'd guess that that is nicer than adding a Makefile etc, but I don't really know.

Well, that's much easier. Thanks, I'll update!

Ok, I tried that. Guess who has a problem with quoted comand line parameters: the test runner. I'm not sure if it's worth it to fix that or if the current makefile test suffices.

Could you squash these two commits together? Otherwise looks good to me! |

Squashed and force-pushed. |
This is inspired by a mystifying linker failure when using `pkg-config` to generate the linker args: `pkg-config` produces output that ends in a space, thus resulting in an empty linker argument. Also added some updates to the concerning error messages that helped spotting this bug.
