Now that the linkers are split out of the compilers this enum is
only used to know what platform we're compiling for. Which is
what the MachineInfo class is for
Instead of the DynamicLinker returning a hardcoded value like
`-Wl,-foo`, it now is passed a value that could be '-Wl,', or could be
something '-Xlinker='
This makes a few things cleaner, and will make it possible to fix using
clang (not clang-cl) on windows, where it invokes either link.exe or
lld-link.exe instead of a gnu-ld compatible linker.
To make Fortran tests useful on Windows, the library_type should default to static,
unless needed to specifically test shared. Shared Fortran libs on Windows for
non-Gfortran compilers is fragile requiring proprietary code syntax.
* PGI C++ PCH enable
PGI compilers support precompiled headers for C++ only.
The common/13 pch test passes if run manually with no spaces in the build path.
However, since Meson run_project_tests.py makes temporary build directories
with spaces in each tests, PGI --pch_dir can't handle this and fails.
So we skip the test for PGI despite it working for usual case with no-spaces
in build dir.
Note: it's fine to have spaces in full path for sourcedir, just no spaces in
relative path to builddir.

There are two problems, one is that it assumes -flto is the argument
to do LTO/WPO, which isn't true of ICC and MSVC (and presumably)
others. It's also incorrect because it assumes that the compiler and
linker will always be the same, which isn't necessarily true. You
could combine GCC with Apple's linker, or clang with link.exe, which
use different arguments.
Error example:
Code:
#include <locale.h>
int main () {
/* If it's not defined as a macro, try to use as a symbol */
#ifndef LC_MESSAGES
LC_MESSAGES;
#endif
}

cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
There is a pretty big error in here, trying to return a tuple
comperhension: (a for a in []) is not a tuple, it's a generator. This
has profound type annotations: generators don't support most tuple or
list methods, and they can only be iterated once. Beyond that tuples are
meant for heterogenous types, ie, position matters for types. I've
converted the output to a list in all cases.
The compilers module is rather large and confusing, with spaghetti
dependencies going every which way. I'm planning to start breaking out
the internal representations into a mixins submodule, for things that
shouldn't be required outside of the compilers module itself.
