Library search path and cross-compilation

[Sasayama]

I'm trying cross-compilation of libtoolized packages and have problems.

First, libtool searches /lib, /usr/lib, and /usr/local/lib for .la files
instead of implicit library directories for cross-compilation, and fails
to link unless I specify those directories explicitly.

Second, since the .la files specify the library directories in the
target environment, they must be modified for successful
cross-compilation. This requires me to maintain two versions of a .la
file, one for target and the other for host.

Third, if I have worked around the second problem, libtool sometimes
embeds host directories in the run path which is wrong in the target
environment.

Is there any idea to solve them? Or does a newer developer version
already has support for cross-compilation? I have version 1.5.10 now.

Thank you in advance.
