There's a problem in that libtool directs the binary output to the .libs
directory with a script built to execute the binary. The script does
not and cannot have the .exe extention. So the question is, how to go
about resolving the issue?
The issue is the fact that the make target is
1. C++ (actually, all tags except C) is broken. This is because
the non-C tags extract the list of runtime stdlibs from the
compiler, and then explicitly add them to the link command (while
using -nostdlibs). This has the effect of requiring that the
runtime libs satisfy the is it
Geez, I have no idea what happened to the formatting of the preceding
message...
2. 'make install DESTDIR=' fails (or relinks to an old version of a
dependent lib) when the project contains dependent libraries.
This bug affects all platforms.

Yes, I have. In this particular case,

Could someone -please- either let all of us know how to properly deal
with this relink issue or just apply the ltmain.sh patches in the latest
Debian libtool package to CVS? Or at least comment on how it should be
modified if it's not acceptable. Thanks.
Grab the latest
Heh... just need the ltmain.sh part. Use filterdiff from patchutils:
zcat libtool_1.4.3-2.diff.gz | filterdiff -i \*ltmain.sh
Patch attached. It just patches ltmain.sh... I haven't looked to see if
there are other related fixes.
Notice also the exit 1 vs continue when a relink fails... is
