Okay, it's reverted. It was worth a shot. =) > 1) we know what libtool version is required and everybody has a chance > to upgrade (or bug their sysops to upgrade) I believe at least libtool 1.4. There are lots of reasons to require 1.4.2 (Mac OS X is only supported with 1.4.2). This is just a developer requirement not an end-user requirement, so I think we could be fairly picky about our versions if we believe it'll give us a good value in the long-run. > 2) people such as myself have at least some chance to debug why a > supposedly good version of libtool can't deal with the new usage on > a particular platform (e.g., AIX) Well, everything libtool says is DSO isn't supported on AIX. We're trying our best to prove them wrong. My guess is that the dependency generation is turned off since they "know" that AIX has no dependency support. We will probably have to teach libtool about dependencies. Can you post the errors you were seeing? I don't have AIX, but I can try doing research on it time permitting. -- justin
