Apparently it was never intended to call the linker directly. I did not think
of that.

Looking into sdlmame's makefile I find:

> # compiler, linker and utilities
> AR = @ar
> CC = @gcc
> LD = @gcc
> MD = -mkdir$(EXE)
> RM = @rm -f

And as LD is already defined by T2 it all goes downhill because now LD ist
really pointing to a pure linker.

To circumvent that I added:

> export LD=$CC

to my sdlmame.conf file. Now it survives the compile and linking stages.
Bingo.

There are other problems I need to investigate...

Ciao, MM
