Using the mkoctfile -W and -Wl options

[Richard Crozier]

Hello,

Could someone possibly provide an example of using the -W and -Wl 
arguments for mkoctfile?

"
     '-Wl,...'
          Pass flags though the linker like "-Wl,-rpath=...".  The
          quotes are needed since commas are interpreted as command
          separators.

     '-W...'
          Pass flags though the compiler like "-Wa,OPTION".

"

For example, I tried building the provided helloworld example from the 
octave manual and passing the -v parameter like so:

>> mkoctfile helloworld.c "-Wv"
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-Wv’
warning: mkoctfile exited with failure status
warning: called from
    mkoctfile at line 171 column 5
>> mkoctfile helloworld.c "-W,-v"
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-W,-v’
warning: mkoctfile exited with failure status
warning: called from
    mkoctfile at line 171 column 5
>> mkoctfile helloworld.c -Wv
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-Wv’
warning: mkoctfile exited with failure status
warning: called from
    mkoctfile at line 171 column 5


obviously in reality I want to do more than pass this parameter, can 
someone explain the right way to do these please, or point me to a more 
detailed resource on this?

Thanks,
Richard
