+ A few libraries automatically add to
+ <literal>NIX_LDFLAGS</literal> their library, making their
+ symbols automatically available to the linker. This includes
+ libiconv and libintl (gettext). This is done to provide
+ compatibility between GNU Linux, where libiconv and libintl
+ are bundled in, and other systems where that might not be the
+ case. Sometimes, this behavior is not desired. To disable
+ this behavior, set <literal>dontAddExtraLibs</literal>.
