} The compilers are called icc for the C-compiler and icpc for the 
C++-compiler. 
} Both compilers takes the same options as the GNU compilers. The two compilers

} g++.
} There is two important differences from gcc though:
} 1. For the archivecmds remove the option -nostdlibs. 
} 2. For both compilers you need to set to set "archive_cmds_need_lc" to no.  
} (if you link with -lc, the linking either breaks or the applications crashes 
} when launched)
} 
} I hope I get some feedback this time.

Hi `Allan,

I was going to apply your patches, but it was for a version of libtool
which we didn't have (I think we're running the latest stable version).
That's why I didn't offer any feedback. I'm not a member of the libtool
FSF collective, but I'll try your suggestions above on our libtool
versions and give feedback, if you think that would help things :).
