The new loadable i18n libraries use a special library build rule instead
of the regular SharedLibraryTarget macro; this may well be fine for
regular compilation, but it breaks cross compiling environments.
The trivial fix is to use:
#define Xi18nLibraryTarget(libname)
SharedLibraryTarget(libname,$(SOXI18NREV),$(OBJS),.,.)
instead of the custom macro.
A problem that this usage uncovers is in the use of expr to generate
library version numbers under Linux; right now there are several rules
files using:
MAJREV=`expr rev : '\(.*\)\.'`
to convert a library version number (e.g. "6.1.0") into just the major
version number ("6"). This works, as long as the library version number
has a dot -- the i18n libraries use a simple single element version number
for some inexplicable reason, hence this usage breaks. I believe a
replacement for the above expression:
MAJREV=`expr rev : '\([^.]*\)'`
will work in either case.
I'd like to commit both this change as well as the switch to the i18n
library building macros; does anyone see something I'm missing?
