Akim:

Well, I've been trying to test your patches, but I'm running into
other problems.  If I install your version of automake, then
run the Libtool bootstrap script, configure and make, the -c option
that libtool passes to the compiler is gone.  This results in
errors because the compiler tries to link every file it compiles:

make[1]: Entering directory `/icarus/GNU/libtool/libltdl'
/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.     -g
-O2  -o ltdl.lo ltdl.c
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -g -O2 ltdl.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o
.libs/ltdl.o
/usr/lib/crt1.o: In function `_start':
/usr/lib/crt1.o(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `main'
/tmp/ccSWYBux.o: In function `sys_dl_open':
/icarus/GNU/libtool/libltdl/ltdl.c:579: undefined reference to `dlopen'
/icarus/GNU/libtool/libltdl/ltdl.c:583: undefined reference to `dlerror'
/icarus/GNU/libtool/libltdl/ltdl.c:583: undefined reference to `dlerror'

If you'd like to reproduce this, get CVS multi-language-branch libtool
and CVS autoconf (I'm not sure that matters though).  I wish I could
tell you more about what the problem is.
