Hi Juha, Sorry in advance if my mailer messes up your name. :-(

Well, to be honest, I'm not at all convinced that it is related to this: > The build, naturally, fails here. I think this bug is related to this: > http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-libtool/2002-12/msg00017.html ..but if it is, that would most certainly make it top priority for me to fix this bug. AFAIK all the bug does is cause a stall in the build, though. This bug should only happen when libtool thinks the compiler does not understand `-c -o' together. Unfortunately, there was a bug in libtool's detection of this failure, which we fixed around 1.5.16 or so. > An example failing build is Heimdal: at the very beginning of the build > process: Could you post a command line libtool --debug --mode=... ... which shows the failure, including all output, for me please? Also nm object.o of the object that fails to link. Does this happen only with one package, or with several? Cheers, Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
