Can you please explain why (6) has this limitation? Is this something that can easily be fixed by modifying libtool? (Sorry, I am not a libtool expert.) If we can remove this limitation of libtool, then (6) sounds like a nice solution, as it would be easily understood (even by non-libtool experts like me :-). By the way, thanks for your analysis. This is a real problem that seems to me to be getting worse with time. _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
