adding everything from libgnu.a to each of the libraries, we
would like to avoid "-Wl,--whole-archive ../lib/.libs/libgnu.a
-Wl,--no-whole-archive".
There is no requirement to use "convenience" libraries. People who do
things due to "convenience" are often classifie
of the libraries, we
would like to avoid "-Wl,--whole-archive ../lib/.libs/libgnu.a
-Wl,--no-whole-archive".
There several ways to work around this situation (e.g. creating one
libgnu.a per library). The preferred one would be to have a new option
to libtool, '-no-whole-archive'.
