libtool-1.3.4 cannot handle g77

[nbecker]

ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.3.4 (1.385.2.196 1999/12/07 21:47:57)

There are 2 problems that seem to make it impossible to use libtool to
build shared libs with g77.

First (which is not insurmountable) is that the link uses gcc instead
of g77:

libtool --mode=link g77 -o libamos.la d1mach.lo dgamln.lo fdump.lo i1mach.lo 
xerror.lo zabs.lo zacai.lo zacon.lo zairy.lo zasyi.lo zbesh.lo zbesi.lo 
zbesj.lo zbesk.lo zbesy.lo zbinu.lo zbiry.lo zbknu.lo zbuni.lo zbunk.lo zdiv.lo 
zexp.lo zkscl.lo zlog.lo zmlri.lo zmlt.lo zrati.lo zs1s2.lo zseri.lo zshch.lo 
zsqrt.lo zuchk.lo zunhj.lo zuni1.lo zuni2.lo zunik.lo zunk1.lo zunk2.lo 
zuoik.lo zwrsk.lo -rpath /usr/lib -lm
rm -fr .libs/libamos.la .libs/libamos.* .libs/libamos.*
gcc -shared  d1mach.lo dgamln.lo fdump.lo i1mach.lo xerror.lo zabs.lo zacai.lo 
zacon.lo zairy.lo zasyi.lo zbesh.lo zbesi.lo zbesj.lo zbesk.lo zbesy.lo 
zbinu.lo zbiry.lo zbknu.lo zbuni.lo zbunk.lo zdiv.lo zexp.lo zkscl.lo zlog.lo 
zmlri.lo zmlt.lo zrati.lo zs1s2.lo zseri.lo zshch.lo zsqrt.lo zuchk.lo zunhj.lo 
zuni1.lo zuni2.lo zunik.lo zunk1.lo zunk2.lo zuoik.lo zwrsk.lo  -lm -lc  
-Wl,-soname -Wl,libamos.so.0 -o .libs/libamos.so.0.0.0

The big problem is this:

libtool --mode=link g77 -o libamos.la d1mach.lo dgamln.lo fdump.lo i1mach.lo 
xerror.lo zabs.lo zacai.lo zacon.lo zairy.lo zasyi.lo zbesh.lo zbesi.lo 
zbesj.lo zbesk.lo zbesy.lo zbinu.lo zbiry.lo zbknu.lo zbuni.lo zbunk.lo zdiv.lo 
zexp.lo zkscl.lo zlog.lo zmlri.lo zmlt.lo zrati.lo zs1s2.lo zseri.lo zshch.lo 
zsqrt.lo zuchk.lo zunhj.lo zuni1.lo zuni2.lo zunik.lo zunk1.lo zunk2.lo 
zuoik.lo zwrsk.lo -rpath /usr/lib -lg2c -lm
rm -fr .libs/libamos.la .libs/libamos.* .libs/libamos.*

*** Warning: This library needs some functionality provided by -lg2c.

I wish there was a way to overide this and tell libtool to make the
lib anyway.  Yes, I know it's not portable, but it's better than the
alternative.
