Re: Does libtool support cross compile?

[Grzegorz Jakacki]

Libtool is a software developed by volunteers. Saying that libtool is
"brain dead" is extremely rude and shows little respect to the people who
contribute their time for the benefit of others. Do you believe, that they
will be willing to help you after they read the last sentence of your
e-mail?

Good luck
