Libtool 1.4.2 C++ linking

[Christian Cornelssen]

Dear Libtool maintainers,

When linking a bunch of libtool convenience archives
together to form a shared library, by using a command like

        libtool --mode=link g++ ...

libtool invokes `gcc' to do the linking, not g++.  Since linking
objects made from C++ sources may be not as simple as linking
traditional code due to template instantiation management,
global constructors/destructors etc., I am wondering whether libtool
would do the right thing in the general case where the C++ link
wrapper needs to do different things than "gcc" would do.

   Sincerely,

Christian Cornelssen
