Re: libtool 1.4.2: pass_all for mips-linux, mipsel-linux

[Robert Boehne]

Maciej:

H. J. Lu submitted a patch for Linux-mips that has been checked
into the main branch.  

2001-10-24  H.J. Lu  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.sh: Allow link against an archive when building a
        shared library.
        * libtool.m4 (lt_cv_deplibs_check_method): Always use
        file_magic for Linux ELF.

If you like, I could port it to the 1.4 branch as I'm currently
not sure we won't release a 1.4.3.
