As for testing the situation, AC_CHECK_LIB makes me believe it will
work. But it only works in a subset of cases (i.e. static only). I have
another implementation that I can compile in but at the moment there is
no indication I should use my own internal implementation (I'd rather
use an external implementation where possible in the belief it's
probably been better debugged).
So, ideas how to work around this problem to achieve my goal?
Why not import the libiberty sources into your project and build a
convenience libiberty.
I'd rather use what's already installed.
AC_CHECK_LIB does not check for static/shared/can be used as input by
libtool, nor should it, imo.
What if I come across something else that's not libiberty that has no
shared library? or more likely no .la files? The autotools documentation
goes to a bit of length to show how it's done without libtool.
So, is there something to check if it will work shared or static or both
(if it's not going to be AC_CHECK_LIB)? Then at least the user can be
warned. Seeing as libtool does a lot of this in anycase, maybe something
just needs to be exposed?
