Hmm yes, that would be a possibility; at least for C and C++. For Fortran compilers we'd still be out of luck mostly. And anyway it would be quite a big step. Not something I'd do shortly before a point release. Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
