A week ago I popped this into development libtool:
2002-11-18 Bob Friesenhahn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* ltmain.in: When using gcc, pass -mfoo to the linker
via $compiler_flags in order to pass architecture information to
the linker (e.g. 32 vs 64-bit). This may also be accomplished via
-Wl,-mfoo but this is not reliable with gcc because gcc may use
-mfoo to select a different linker, different libraries, etc, while
-Wl,-mfoo simply passes -mfoo to the linker. If there is a better
solution, please let me know what it is.
Note that this passes -mfoo arguments to the compiler at link-time to
ensure/allow a consistent ABI to be requested across the compile and
link phases. This scheme works well with Autoconf since the user can
configure a project like
./configure CFLAGS=-mfoo LDFLAGS=-mfoo
and everything works.
It is just as easy to pop this update out of libtool as it was to pop
it in, so if there is a better way to accomplish this that works
reliably across an entire project built with GCC, Autoconf, and
libtool, please let me know.
Thanks,
Bob
