Here's a patch against ltmain.sh to solve the problem on
Darwin/MacOSX (watch the tabs). I have no idea whether this
will screw other platforms, however...

I am learning to use libtool and its cohorts from the  
GNU autoconf book by Vaughan et al, and am 
trying to follow the simple examples in chapter 9 
for Using Convenience LIbraries. I run into this odd 
behavior under Darwin:

When I try to build a library with a dependency on 
my convenience library, using the command 
(which I copied from the book):

glibtool cc -rpath /usr/local/sourceforge/src/savannah/www/support/_inst -o 
libhello.la hello.lo 
libtrim.la

I notice the output:

cc -dynamiclib -undefined suppress -o .libs/
libhello.0.0.0.dylib  hello.lo -all_load  ./.libs/
libtrim.al  ./.libs/libtrim.al -lc -install_name  /Users/
kfitz/Gumballs/hello-1.0/intro-hello/_inst/
libhello.0.dylib -compatibility_version 1 -
current_version 1.0


which, not surprisingly, fails to link, because 
libtrim.al appears twice on the link line. 

Why is libtool causing libtrim.la to appear twice on 
the link line? That cannot be correct. 

I am using libtool1.4, built from source, and I am 
copying the commands verbatim from the book, 
except that I change "libtool" to "glibtool" to avoid 
name conflicts with Apple&#039;s libtool.

Any insight will be apreciated.
