Yes. Generic position-dependent linker flags are not implemented at this point. If you control lib1 and lib2 though (i.e., they are built as part of your package, or as part of a dependent package you are the author of), you could make them convenience archives, to achieve the same effect. > As there was no answer to Alain's message in 2002, and this still seems > to be libtool's current behavior (version 1.5.22), I'm assuming this > isn't something that is implemented by libtool.

Actually, a patch to implement generic position-dependent linker flags would be very similar to my proposed per-target static flags patch which I posted a while ago; it has been postponed to post-2.0.
