I don't think this functionality exists in branch-1-5.

Thanks for the patch; but I'm really wondering about the change.
Before the patch, we generate a command line such as
  cc -qlanglvl=extc89 -Wl,-bM:SRE -o .libs/libhello.so.2 \
     "-Wl,-f,.libs/libhello.la.lnk"  -lm -lc -Wl,-bnoentry \
     -qlanglvl=extc89 -Wl,-bE:list -Wl,-bernotok

and with your patch, the linkscript argument will now be
     "-Wl,-f.libs/libhello.la.lnk"  

instead.  I've tried on AIX 4.3 and 5.3, and both seem to support the
notation we use currently.

Could you show a "libtool --mode=link" command line in your project plus
its output where this fails?  Also maybe once with -Wc,-v and once with
-Wl,-v added?  Which compiler version, OS version is this, what says
`./libtool --config'?

Thanks,
Ralf
