Multiple inclusion of -lnsl -lsocket

[Douglas E. Engert]

I am using libtool-1.4.2 on Solaris 5.7 with gcc 2.9.3

I am trying to link in a large number of shared libraries, each of which was 
built
with libtool. Each library had -lnsl -lsocket as a dependency.  

It appears libtool adds the -lnsl -lsocket to the deplibs for each library,
as it is built, and each of it dependency libs which also have -lnsl -lsocket.
Thus when it gets to the program, it has -lnsl -lsocket over and over, and the 
line becomes to long for the shell, or the compiler. 
  
This command is given to libtool. (Its all one line.)

/bin/sh 
/afs/anl.gov/usr/ctd/b17783/work/Globus/gp/build/sun4x_57/sbin/libtool-gcc32dbg
--mode=link /usr/afsws/local/bin/gcc  -g
-L/afs/anl.gov/usr/ctd/b17783/work/Globus/gp/build/sun4x_57/lib -o globusrun 
-L/afs/anl.gov/usr/ctd/b17783/work/Globus/gp/build/sun4x_57/lib globusrun.o 
-lnsl -lsocket -lnsl    -lsocket -lnsl -lglobus_gass_server_ez_gcc32dbg  
-lglobus_rsl_assist_gcc32dbg -lglobus_duroc_control_gcc32dbg
-lglobus_gass_transfer_gcc32dbg  -lglobus_duct_control_gcc32dbg 
-lglobus_duroc_common_gcc32dbg  -lglobus_duct_common_gcc32dbg  
-lglobus_gram_client_gcc32dbg -lglobus_rsl_gcc32dbg  -lglobus_nexus_gcc32dbg  
-lglobus_gram_protocol_gcc32dbg -lglobus_mp_gcc32dbg  -lglobus_dc_gcc32dbg 
-lglobus_io_gcc32dbg -lglobus_gss_assist_gcc32dbg -lglobus_common_gcc32dbg 
-lglobus_gssapi_gsi_gcc32dbg -lglobus_ssl_utils_gcc32dbg -lssl_gcc32dbg 
-lcrypto_gcc32dbg


Then it appears that libtool tries to run this command which I folded to get 
into 
this mail:

Note, two lines above, it has -lns which looks like it truncated some
internal string. The error message is "ld: fatal: library -lns: not found" 

The extreme numbers of -lnsl -lsocket looks like a bug somewhere.
