Hi Ralf, sorry, had to rerun the testsuite because my memory was not good 
enough to remember "template test with subdirs", failure is here:

../../libtool/tests/template.at:212: $LIBTOOL --tag=CXX --mode=link $CXX 
$CXXFLAGS -o sub/main sub/main.o lib2/libb.la lib/liba.la
+ /Users/peter/cvsco.build/lttst/libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link g++ -g -O2 -o 
sub/main sub/main.o lib2/libb.la lib/liba.la
stderr:
stdout:
libtool: link: g++ -g -O2 -o sub/.libs/main sub/main.o -Wl,-bind_at_load 
lib2/.libs/libb.dylib lib/.libs/liba.a
libtool: link: creating sub/main
+ set +x
../../libtool/tests/template.at:213: if ./sub/main; then :;
           elif test "X$host" != "X$build" && \
                { test -x "./sub/main" || test -x "./sub/main"$EXEEXT; }
           then (exit 77); fi

Note that this looks like a bug in the dynamic linker (dyld) it is not, the 
bug is in ld.

Dunno, what do you think?
