So, on the client machine where libtoolize is executed, they will have the same time. If libtoolize were to update time stamps, then it would need to know the order (and could _not_ infer it from timestamps). But _then_ it would not matter at all which time the installed files had anyway. Not at all. So in that case you could just leave it all to libtoolize to do the ordering. My thought so far was, that it's sufficient to do the ordering in "make install" as I've mentioned above, and leave the "tar hack" in libtoolize.Would adding AM_MAINTAINER_MODE to the libltdl `configure.ac' usefully help shield users from these time stamp problems?
Yes I think it would. The question then is: is it okay for libltdl to randomly autoreconf bits of itself the first time it is called with--enable-maintainer-mode? We need to see whether Ralf runs into timestamp problems on the patch to follow mine before we worry about it too much though...
Cheers,
Gary.
