Sorry for that. Compilation needs something like libtool-cache, if it

Adapting Libtool to do this better for cases of interest might be a
cheap way to get more speed quickly.
for all decent platforms, not win32), for the case of many objects.
I think that the problem is that ltmain.c in the libtool directory
only contains:
#include <stdio.h> /* printf */
#include <stdlib.h> /* exit */
int
main (argc, argv)
int argc;
char **argv;
{
printf ("hello, world!\n");
exit (0);
}
If someone should care to finish this program, then libtool.m4 can
focus on creating the configuration file it needs.
Libtool has been around since 1996 but its implementation is still
fundamentally broken. We try to solve the problem by increasing the
amount of problem code (Microsoft approach). Rather than chasing our
tails trying to make a moby shell script run faster, maybe we should
be thinking about creating a real program that runs quickly.
