Thanks for the reminder.

I applied this just now:

    
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libtool.git/commit/?id=b49ab52cb34a80aacf88698870649c7761e17c65

It doesn't change the logic of the 2006 patch, but it still seems wrong to me 
actually.

Shouldn't the generated libtool script be figuring out whether to add -lCstd 
-lCrun every
time it is called? Assuming the configure time CXX will be the only one ever 
used is not
ideal; and, worse, CXXFLAGS are not stored in libtool in any circumstance, and 
yet configure
determines the value of postdeps based on configure time CXXFLAGS contents.

Am I missing something, or is it better to move this machinery into libtool 
itself?

Cheers,
