[issue1326113] Letting "build_ext --libraries" take more than one lib

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

Since "--libraries" is plural, and since the help text says:

--libraries (-l)     external C libraries to link with

it should IMO be considered a bug.

(Standard UNIX linkers have a different convention: you can specify -l several times in order to link against several libraries; however, distutils seems to ignore all but the last -l option)
