 Thanks.  Now the only remaining question is whether we still need to
 support that thing called 'Sun Ceres Fortran' here:
 http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2008/11/4932.php
 and if yes, whether that also supported '-Qoption ld' already, despite
 a hint to the contrary in that reference.
 
 Any chance one of you might know/remember this?
 Like a bad recurring nightmare :-).
 
 Note the f90 2009 compiler is the 8.4 where Ceres was 8.3.  So from 8.4 on
 -Qoption is supported.  I think we probably would want to still support
 Ceres but let me ask around.
 
 I've discussed this internally and yes we would like Ceres to be supported.
 
 Sorry,

Oh, no problem.  Presumably that means you have some way to test the
proposed patch then with all the interesting compilers.  That would be
very nice.  :-)

Here it goes; it works with this (yes, very old) Sun Studio X.X on
GNU/Linux installation; and yes, this is about GNU/Linux only.

Thanks,
Ralf

 I'm pushing the patch with the diff below squashed in, hope you
 don't mind.

Ralf, being as you're a dual libtool / GCC maintainer, what is the
process for getting libtool changes pushed to GCC?  Do I just wait for
a new libtool release, or is it reasonable / preferred to send
individual patches to GCC as well?

Thanks,
Ollie
