libtool.m4 and support for CC -xar on solaris

[S. Brent Faulkner]

I've installed libtool-1.4.3 on Solaris 8 (Solaris 8 2/02 s28s_u7wosa SPARC).

I'm using the native C++ compiler (CC: WorkShop Compilers 5.0 02/10/08 C++ 5.0 Path 107311-19).

The CVS log for libtool.m4 seems to show the support for using CC -xar -o … instead of ar to create a static library, and the support appeasr to have been there for ages.

However, the copy of libtool.m4 (link to libinclude.m4) in the libtool-1.4.3.tar.gz that I installed from doesn't have the CC -xar support.

Can someone tell me what version of libtool I need (or what patch I need to apply)?

Thanks.
