LD is the rough representation of whatever should be used for the link
phase.  I suppose in most (gnu) cases $(LD) == $(CC).

Right.  It works, indeed.  It's just a proliferation of dirs I was
hoping to avoid.  For each (of a number) of dirs with source in them, I
now have two subdirs of each, one for mpi targets and now one for
pthread targets.

I was just surprised that I could set CFLAGS and LDFLAGS and additional
linker arguments on a per target basis but not specify a compiler and/or
linker on a per target basis.

Would this be something difficult to add or relatively simple, just not
really been so much of a demand for it thus far?
