I dunno. The alternative is another libtool macro to probe whether
the compiler needs -LANG:std -- and that not only slows libtool down a
bit more for everyone, but doesn't solve the problem of the other
-L[A-Z][A-Z]*:* cases on IRIX. I still think this is the right solution.
My question was whether to discard the flag (even on IRIX) when using
GNU ld -- I guess we should...
Cheers,
