Dear libtool team (cc to Peter)
as discussed with Peter I send to you a diff (compared to the
2.4 official version of libtool) to support the NAG Fortran compiler
on Darwin 64bit machines.


Thanks for your work on this.

This hunk is OK.

This one isn't. Either this matches and then the default case that sets 
lt_prog_compiler_pic to -fno-common later does not match, or vice versa. 
I haven't looked at where this comes in libtool.m4. Something like this 
would keep the default case working too:

Though, recent Mac OS X does not require -fno-common, because 
-single_module is the default, it's mostly harmless to keep it there IMO.

I am a little confused by this because it seems strange that 
-compatibility_version and -current_version would need -Wl, quoting, but 
-dynamiclib, -bundle etc. do not. Did you happen to run the libtool test 
suite with this patch? Please do so and post the results.

Thanks again, sorry for asking you to do more work,
Peter
