Description

Tried switching the compiler to use bcc32c (clang support), and it won't link.

BCC32 = bcc32c
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Seattle/en/C%2B%2B_Compiler#Classic_Compiler

I got the following warnings, which i expected:

Warning: option '-k' is not supported in Clang-based compiler.
Warning: option '-y' is not supported in Clang-based compiler.
Warning: option '-w-par' is not supported in Clang-based compiler.

The errors, preventing link were:

Library works fine when compiled using the makefile in (which uses bcc32):
