Great! How much time do you have left? > Is there any chance .multilib2 can be incorporated into 1.5.12? As written, > it simply causes libtool to ask gcc to find .la files if gcc is in use.

The general idea looks fine to me. Unless other libtool distro maintainers disagree, I'd like to see this in branch-1-5 (and then in branch-2-0 and HEAD as well). Technical issues with the patch: - Why is, after your patch, $found set twice before searching (is there a reason for this)? - You search -print-file-name with all extensions before searching other paths with all extensions. I think this is ok, but am not totally convinced. - What about other compilers on linux? I know icc knows -print-file-name= in version >= 8.0 (but, depending on whether it sees the option `-no-gcc' or not, it will be detected as gcc anyways). I'm pretty sure pgi compilers do not understand this switch.
