It was removed:

2001-03-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>
 
        * ltmain.in: Remove the code for stripping duplicate deplibs
        from libtool link lines -- duplicates are somtimes necessary
        to satisfy inter-library dependencies, and never cause link to
        fail even if they are spurious.

And then I put it back in again:

2001-04-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <address@hidden>

        * ltmain.in: Revert my change from 2001-03-31.  Although it
        was technically correct, it opens a whole can of worms we don't
        want to deal with right now.

And in MLB, we also have:

2001-04-11  Alexandre Oliva  <address@hidden>
 
        * ltmain.in: Mark duplicate libraries appearing in predeps and
        postdeps as specialdeplibs.  Explain the whole plan.

How come this patch isn't also in HEAD? (Man I am *really* looking forward to 
getting rid of parallel development).

Cheers,
        Gary.
