prefix-args.c is only used when compiling with gcc to pass flags to the linker using the -Xlinker syntax.
This is not necessary anymore, -Wl, can be used the same way, and the
linker flags are generated in that format anyway.
So currently prefix-args.c only complicates the build system.

It looks like the -Wl option is about 18 years old, so FWIW I suggest
you go for it. (Don't you still need something prefix-arg like to put
in the commas? I'm sure it doesn't require a C program though.)

I would guess not, AFAICS linker flags are already in the -Wl format.
If these flags are produced by configure, then configure can take care
of putting them in the right format...
