Re: Problems with AIX4 Compiler

[mcnichol]

I have not seen a problem like that before.  But I don't think
libtool should be issuing link flags during the compile operation.

I would try one of the newer versions of libtool. Version 1.4 has
many fixes for AIX, and we have a version of 1.3.5 at
http://www.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linux/index.html
that also includes many of the same changes.
