This is exactly the reversal of libtool--gary--1.0--patch-49 which is http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2004-09/msg00248.html It would help greatly to have both - a small self-contained example that works with libtool-1.5.x but breaks with CVS HEAD, - any more details on how CVS m4 breaks without libtool--gary--1.0--patch-49 and how to reproduce that easily. In above mail, Gary said: | Finally... it has taken me a week to track down the two bugs [...] and I have little desire to invest another week. I can't bootstrap CVS m4 at the moment because it needs (among others) CVS gettext which fails to build for me.. and I don't have lots of incentive to chase all these bugs before getting to the libtool one. (IOW, a pointer to a CVS m4 tarball would be great, too). Cheers, Ralf
