This one is not fire and forget. I can live with "fire", but not with forget, because the right place to fix this issue is not within Libtool. The issue is similar to what Fortran solves with AC_FC_SRCEXT in Autoconf, whose result automake uses to to put right before the source file name. Here, the same could be done for -Tc or -Tp, respectively. One difference is that the flag is not specific to the file name extension, just to the language. What am I missing? Ah yes, someone would need to call such a macro; probably the cleanest way would be call it from AC_PROG_CC. One cheaper way could be to hard-code known extensions into 'compile' now, but that means this script is getting more uglier. And yes, I should apologize for not seeing this four years ago ... Comments? Thanks, Ralf
