In one of our projects we are experiencing a problem which seems to be
related to the fact that the -flat_namespace option is not being
passed to the linker, looking into why this is the case I see the
following code in libtool.m4:

What is the problem?



I see that the -flat_namespace is only passed for 10.0, 10.1, and
10.2. Why is this? Are there adverse effects to using a flat namespace
on more recent OS X versions?

Two level namespace is the default, last time I checked every library on the system was two level namespace (there used to be one flat namespace X11 library, I think that changed). Two level namespace is faster, and solves numerous portability problems.
