For `compile' mode, mode-args is a compiler command to be used in creating a `standard' object file. These arguments should begin with the name of the C compiler, and contain the `-c' compiler flag so that only an object file is created.
Libtool determines the name of the output file by removing the directory component from the source file name, then substituting the C source code suffix `.c' with the library object suffix, `.lo'.
If shared libraries are being built, any necessary PIC generation flags are substituted into the compilation command.
