looks like bug

libtool 1.4 does strange thing:
address@hidden libtool-test]$ ls -l
razem 1336
-rw-r--r--    1 misiek   users      704478 maj  2 15:28 libdb-3.1.a
-rwxr-xr-x    1 misiek   users         623 maj 10 20:16 libdb-3.1.la
-rwxr-xr-x    1 misiek   users      488304 maj  2 15:31 libdb-3.1.so
-rwxr-xr-x    1 misiek   users      147057 maj 10 09:09 libtool

address@hidden libtool-test]$ cat libdb-3.1.la 
# libdb-3.1.la - a libtool library file

library_names='libdb-3.1.so libdb-3.1.so libdb-3.1.so'

# The name of the static archive.

address@hidden libtool-test]$ 

Note that there is no static library in old_library and now:
address@hidden libtool-test]$ make
gcc -c test.c
/bin/sh libtool --mode=link gcc  -o test -s -all-static test.o ./libdb-3.1.la
                                            ^^^^^^^^^^^
gcc -o test -s -static test.o  .//libdb-3.1.so -Wl,--rpath -Wl,./ -Wl,--rpath 
-Wl,./
                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
/usr/bin/ld: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: indirect symbol `__libc_internal_tsd_set' to 
`__libc_internal_tsd_set@@GLIBC_2.0' is a loop
/lib/ld-linux.so.2: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [all] Błąd 1
address@hidden libtool-test]$ 

(this caused loop in linker; cvs version of ld from binutils detects such loop)

IMVHO libtool shouldn't put libdb-3.1.so into gcc comand line. Am I right?
