Re: [RFT PATCH v4 0/8] Sysroot series

[Ralf Wildenhues]

More issues:

- the part of ltmain starting with
        # Collect and forward deplibs of preopened libtool libs

will source .la files but looks like it mistreats = in $dependency_libs

- is it intended that the = remain in the .la files after these are
moved to their final location on the host system?  Or should
--mode=finish remove them?

- should we provide a minimal patch for vendors 2.2.10 (or earlier
versions, maybe even 1.5.x) that makes libtool not barf upon = in .la
files, for smoother upgrades (given that 2.2.12 could contain other
issues not making for a smooth upgrade path)?

Thanks,
Ralf
