cross-building libtool-1.5 oddities

[Ralf Corsepius]

Hi,

IMO, cross-building libtool-1.5 seems to be multiply broken:

An attempt to cross build a linux->cygwin libtool:

../libtool-1.5/configure --build=`../libtool-1.5/config.guess`
--host=i386-cygwin --prefix=/opt/cygwin
..
checking for i386-cygwin-strip... i386-cygwin-strip
checking for i386-cygwin-gcc... i386-cygwin-gcc
checking for C compiler default output... a.exe
..
[Correct, the cross tools are being picked up.]

..
checking for i386-cygwin-g++... i386-cygwin-g++
checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes
checking whether i386-cygwin-g++ accepts -g... yes
checking dependency style of i386-cygwin-g++... none
..
[Wrong, this is gcc3
# i386-cygwin-g++ --version
i386-cygwin-g++ (GCC) 3.2 20020927 (prerelease)
]
..
checking for i386-cygwin-g77... no
[Correct, no cross-fortran-compiler installed]
..

checking for g77... g77
[Bogus, this is the build-host fortran compiler!]
..
checking whether we are using the GNU Fortran 77 compiler... yes
checking whether g77 accepts -g... yes
checking for i386-cygwin-gcj... no
checking for gcj... gcj
[Bogus, this is the build-host gcj.]
