> Subject: Problem with libtool and Absoft Fortran on Mac OS X
> 
> Absoft's ongoing involvement in the Open MPI testing process has uncovered a
> problem with libtool and our compilers running on Apple's OS X. In a nutshell,
> libtool is passing unsupported options to our compiler drivers when creating
> dynamic shared libraries.
> 
> I've attached a simple example (absoft-libtool-bug-1.0.tar.gz) which 
> illustrates
> the problem along with the config.log and the output from the configure and 
> make
> commands (output.tar.gz).
> 
> The configure command needed to duplicate the issue is
> 
>  ./configure FC=/Applications/Absoft9.5/bin/f90  \
>              F77=/Applications/Absoft9.5/bin/f77
> 
> The problem is the options libtool is passing when using our compiler to 
> perform
> the link of the dynamic library (from line 9 of make_output):
> 
> -install_name /usr/local/lib/libtest.0.dylib
> -compatibility_version 1
> -current_version 1.0
> 
> Our compilers report these as unrecognized options and the link fails.
> 
> A suggested fix which I tested by hand editing the link command issued by
> libtool is using the "-Wl," option pass these options through our driver:
> 
> 
> -Wl,-install_name -Wl,filename
> -Wl,-compatibility_version -Wl,1
> -Wl,-current_version  -Wl,1.0
> 
> Please let me know if I can provide further information or assistance.
