Compile Options:

xlc: The IBM XL C/C++ compiler.
$EXTRA_CFLAG: Contains "-q64" for an instance where 64-bit support is enabled; otherwise, it contains no value.
-I$DB2PATH/include: Specify the location of the DB2 include files. For example: $HOME/sqllib/include.
-c: Perform compile only; no link. Compile and link are separate steps.

Link Options:

xlc: Use the compiler as a front end for the linker.
$EXTRA_CFLAG: Contains "-q64" for an instance where 64-bit support is enabled; otherwise, it contains no value.
-o $1: Specify the executable program.
$1.o: Specify the program object file.
utilemb.o: If an embedded SQL program, include the embedded SQL utility object file for error checking.
utilapi.o: If not an embedded SQL program, include the DB2 API utility object file for error checking.
-ldb2: Link to the DB2 library.
-L$DB2PATH/$LIB: Specify the location of the DB2 runtime shared libraries. For example: $HOME/sqllib/$LIB. If you do not specify the -L option, the compiler assumes the following path: /usr/lib:/lib.
