Hi,
  there is already "-rpath /software/@sys/usr/lib" present on the link
line. I had to delete "-R/software/@sys/usr/lib". ld(1) doesn't know
syntax "-R /software/@sys/usr/lib".


  The manpage for ld on my system says:

  -rpath path
      Create an rpath record containing the specified path string. The path
      string is a colon-separated list of directories that is meaningful only
      when linking with -shared or -call_shared. If an item in the path sup-
      plied to -rpath is of the form $VARNAME or ${VARNAME}, the linker
      copies it to the output file's rpath record without expanding it. The
      environment variable references are preserved so that the loader can
      expand them at run time.  If you use multiple -rpath options, only the
      last one specified is accepted.

      Additional rpath directories found in shared objects on the link com-
      mand line are appended to path.  Duplicate entries are excluded. The
      loader uses the rpath record to search for shared libraries at run
      time. This option is used with -shared.

and the manpage says nothing about -R option.

So, can someone fix in cvs libtool, so that when

$ ld -V
/usr/bin/ld version 5.1
Error: No object file linked
$

is used on Digital UNix 4.0A-F, Tru64Unix 5.0, 5.1, 5.1A, that no
-R$libdir option if forced?

ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4e (1.1177 2003/01/12 07:04:27)
