Hi,
I had this problem with gstreamer-plugins, without an explicit
libtoolize call the C++ plugins wouldn't link to libstdc++.

And I was wondering what this was good for. I had to add transform=""
to the %makeinstall_std macro in a lot of packages to fix the renaming
of the binaries to "i586-mandrake-linux-progname". This should really
get fixed, although you can get used to it and ignore the problem,
which is all but a good thing.
