Leave other flags directly in the Makefile command lines and outside
any special inline response file syntax. Otherwise Borland does
not support flags with quotes in response files.
Since commit c70beb4b (change the default borland stack size, 2003-05-05),
commit 1b572eb9 (remove -H flags, 2003-05-08), and commit 2d411398 (Stack size
in generated programs should be 10 meg, 2003-06-12) CMake adds link flags to
select a 10MB stack. At the time this was for consistency with our behavior on
MS, but that was recently removed by commit 51af1da3 (Remove "/STACK:10000000"
from default linker flags, 2012-11-23).
Change our Embarcadero link flags to select the default stack and heap settings
according to the compiler documentation. This is more reliable than leaving
the flags out completely as it has been reported that the linker does not
always use its documented defaults.

The Borland compiler was re-branded as CodeGear during 2007-2009 and
since 2009 is the Embarcadero compiler. They offer predefined macros:
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/Predefined_Macros
and distinguish themselves by __CODEGEARC__ and __CODEGEARC_VERSION__.
Version 6.30 (C++Builder XE) changed the meaning of some flags:

Teach Embarcadero compiler information files to generate build rules
with flags matching the compiler version. Leave the flags unchanged
for old Borland versions. Always set the BORLAND toolchain indicator
for compatibility with existing projects that test it. Also set the
EMBARCADERO indicator for newer toolchains.
The Borland compiler is now the Embarcadero compiler. Rename the shared
platform information file to reflect this. This does not change the
interface, as old versions are still "Borland", but will allow new
versions released by Embarcadero to be supported cleanly.
