+Handling Compiler Driver Differences
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

To pass options to the linker tool, each compiler driver has its own syntax.
The ``LINKER:`` prefix and ``,`` separator can be used to specify, in a portable
way, options to pass to the linker tool. ``LINKER:`` is replaced by the

+Option De-duplication
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The final set of options used for a target is constructed by
accumulating options from the current target and the usage requirements of
its dependencies. The set of options is de-duplicated to avoid repetition.
.. versionadded:: 3.12
While beneficial for individual options, the de-duplication step can break
- up option groups. For example, ``-D A -D B`` becomes ``-D A B``. One may
- specify a group of options using shell-like quoting along with a ``SHELL:``
- prefix. The ``SHELL:`` prefix is dropped, and the rest of the option string
- is parsed using the :command:`separate_arguments` ``UNIX_COMMAND`` mode.
- For example, ``"SHELL:-D A" "SHELL:-D B"`` becomes ``-D A -D B``.
