Okay, here's the first bit. It's pretty simple. Testing is in progress
(and in conjuction with the new argz fix I just posted to
libtool-patches), but looks good so far: the new wrapper scripts are
identical to old ones generated without this patch.

[...] Apart from that, I don't like what libtool does. I think it's a terrible idea to have a script and a binary with the same name (only differing by the .exe suffix) in the same directory. This behaviour breaks the CYGWIN=transparent_exe option and there's no reliable way around this. Is there any chance that this could be changed in libtool? Absolutely. I outlined the steps necessary to do this: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2006-03/msg00028.html But got not P to TC. Any takers this time around? Caveat: over a year after the message referenced above, but libtool2.0 is STILL in code-slush, so the desired fixes will have to wait until after 2.0 (or 2.2, or whatever the heck we decide to call it) is released. Of the three steps outlined in the fix, it's possible that (1) and (2) could go in prior to the 2.0/2.2 release, but this kind of thinking is why we're still in slush and haven't released. -- Chuck P.S. This will make you cry: libtool-1.5.0 was released 14-Apr-2003, four years ago last Saturday. After a year and a half, some destabilizing changes were under consideration and rejected for 2.0 -- we were too close to a release -- so an abortive branch-2-0 was created 3-Oct-2004 and the destabilizing changes went into HEAD. Development continued sporadically on this branch for about a year until 24-Aug-2005 -- but throughout, most development effort remained on the trunk or branch-1-5. The load on the developers maintaining three branches was extreme, and branch-2-0 -- supposedly the almost ready to release branch -- was getting short shrift, for a YEAR. And the destabilized HEAD was now actually *more* stable than branch-2-0! It got so bad that the branch was abandoned, and 2.0 was retargeted to come from cvs HEAD Real Soon Now. Another year and a half, and here we are...still in code slush. (Sounds very very similar to the ongoing discussions with regards to gcc-4.2: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2007-02/msg00427.html and http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2007-04/msg00510.html. Only much much worse.) However, there are indications that this situation will come to an end Real Soon Now And This Time We Mean It. So, here's hoping... ___ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
