This issue occurs frequently with libtool when command lines are long, on
systems where the command line length limit is low.  The scripts usually look
like this (taken from the libtool pdemo tests):

$ cat .libs/libhello.la.lnkscript
INPUT (
.libs/longer_file_name_hello.o
.libs/longer_file_name_foo.o
.libs/longer_file_name_foo2.o
)

$ ls .libs
libhello.la.lnkscript  longer_file_name_foo2.o  longer_file_name_foo.o 
longer_file_name_hello.o

$ /bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc  -flto -O2 -no-undefined
-version-info 3:12:1  -o libhello.la -rpath /tmp/libtool/build/_inst-pdemo/lib
longer_file_name_hello.lo longer_file_name_foo.lo longer_file_name_foo2.lo -lm 
-ldl 
libtool: link: gcc -shared  -fPIC -DPIC .libs/libhello.la.lnkscript  -lm -ldl 
-flto -O2   -Wl,-soname -Wl,libhello.so.2 -o .libs/libhello.so.2.1.12
/opt/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.5.0/../../../../x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld:

Now, my on-topic question: do you expect this issue to be fixed, and addressed
soonish?  I'm trying to gauge whether libtool should work around this by
treating BFD ld and gold differently (which would add a couple more configure
tests again).  Thanks.
