-I and Windows Share

[Jeffrey Walton]

Hi miles,

I specified a fully qualified path (with protocol) yet I have a link
error. I presume if gcc could consume the {protocol:path} tuple passed
in using '-L' there would not be a link error.

Since it appears GCC cannot use the syntax, what is the syntax I
should use to get GCC to link to a lib on a windows share using a
fully qualified name?
