http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2005-01/msg00210.html has a really old example. I'd expect other really old compilers to also have this limitation, but could not name one which is in common use. > In other words, is there a possibility that the following macro might be > useful? > > -- Macro: AC_PROG_F77_C_O > -- Macro: AC_PROG_FC_C_O > Test whether the Fortran compiler accepts the options `-c' and > `-o' simultaneously. Surely they would be, but only when libtool is not in use. It still does its own per-language `-c -o' testing, and may always be called with both arguments. Cheers, Ralf
