this is not at all related to
makebut rather togcc/ld.makeis a meta-language, that allows you to automate build-processes.so most things you find within a makefile, usually refer to how you call compilers and linkers and other programs needed to build an application (or a library, or something else).
check the manpages (
man gccandman ld) to get information about specific flags for a given program.e.g.
-rpath DIR: add DIR to runtime search path (ld)-soname FILENAME: set shared library name (ld)-cvq: i have no idea to program which these flags refer; most likely these are three flags-c -v -q, but who knows?-MD: usually used to generate include-dependencies from a .c file (gcc)2>: this is no flag at all, but redirects stderr to somewhere else (e.g. to a file)
