# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_CHECK_LINKER_FLAGS(FLAGS, [ACTION-SUCCESS], [ACTION-FAILURE])
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   Check whether the given linker FLAGS work with the current language's
#   linker, or whether they give an error.
#
#   ACTION-SUCCESS/ACTION-FAILURE are shell commands to execute on
#   success/failure.
#
#   NOTE: Based on AX_CHECK_COMPILER_FLAGS.
