Thanks for the heads up.  Libtool-1.5.22 passes the linker flags 
correctly. 

I see a new problem with this.  Shared library extension is not passed 
correctly, 'cause of which extension is missing from shared libraries.  
( For eg.  libname.1.1.1 )
The problems seems to be with un-initiallized shrext_cmds variable.  
This is initialized in link mode only if a shrext argument is found in 
the command line.  Shouldn't this be initialized by default ( as soon as 
you enter link mode ) with variable shrext ?  ( I tried this and that 
seems to be solving the problem )

Thanks
