+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] SConscript: provide variable names to MergeFlags
+
+If the scons MergeFlags() function is provided with a list of
+compiler/linker options, it needs to guess what options belong where. If
+it doesn't recognize an option, it is silently ignored. There are also
+ambiguous options that could be both in CFLAGS and LINKFLAGS (e.g. -spec).
+
+Provide MergeFlags() with a dict instead of list to avoid the guesswork
+in order to pass all options, even if some are not recognized by scons.
+Switch LDFLAGS to LINKFLAGS for better compatibility with existing
+scripts.
+
+Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://gitlab.com/gpsd/gpsd/-/merge_requests/406]
