As reported in http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=16452
the default for opt_duplicate_compiler_generated_deps can cause exception handling/unwinding failures on 64-bit Solaris 10+/x86 when the underlying gcc bug http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59788 is fixed. The libtool bug report already contains the fix for the version of libtool bundled in the gcc repo. I'd like to include the patch from the gcc bug report in the upcoming next gcc release, 4.9.0. gcc policy requires that such patches have to be accepted for upstream libtool first, so here's the patch to git libtool:

It has been tested on i386-pc-solaris2.10 with gcc 4.8 without testsuite regressions. Rainer -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainer Orth, Center for Biotechnology, Bielefeld University
