LT 1.5 / portland compilers / shared libraries

[Jeff Squyres]

Libtool 1.5 doesn't seem to pass the Right flags to the Portland compiler
to make shared libraries (RedHat 7.2 system).  Libtool 1.4.3 seems to work
fine with the Portland compilers.

>From the output of an automake-ized package with --disable-static
--enable-shared:

Here's a snipit from the output of configure (from AM_PROG_LIBTOOL):

-----
[snipped]
checking if pgcc static flag  works... yes
checking for pgcc option to produce PIC...
checking if pgcc supports -c -o file.o... yes
checking whether the pgcc linker (/usr/bin/ld) supports shared libraries... yes
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
checking whether stripping libraries is possible... yes
checking dynamic linker characteristics... GNU/Linux ld.so
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build static libraries... no
configure: creating libtool

So libtool *thinks* it can make shared libraries with pgcc during
configure, but fails during the execution due to -soname.

Any suggestions?
