Re: libtool/gettext bug

[Martin MOKREJŠ]

Hi,
  I've reported in January problem with -rpath being treated in libtool as
-R dir, what made /usr/bin/ld exit during link stage, as this option is
not recognized. The problem is fixed in gettext package, but the ltmain
stuff should be sucked into libtool. Any volunteers going to port the
fixes?

  Hint:
cvs log ltmain.sh
cvs diff -c3 -r1.9 -r1.10 ltmain.sh

Not this quickly! ltmain.sh and libtool.m4 depend on each other.
ltmain.sh 1.4.3 will not work with libtool.m4 1.4.2. First you need to
upgrade to libtool-1.4.3, then only you can overwrite your ltmain.sh
with gettext's one.

You can point the remaining libtool guy(s) to the modifications I made
for gettext. But I don't have and don't want to have write access to
the libtoool CVS.
