Word too long...

[Tony Parent]

I am running on a solarize 2.8 box with libtool 1.4 and attempting to
compile a gnome app (balsa):

% libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4.2 (1.922.2.53 2001/09/11 03:18:52)

When the make tries to do the final linking, it runs as follows


/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2

It then spits out a gcc line that is truncated, and gcc chokes and quits.

Whats up with that? What does this tool do anyway other then add unneeded
complexity to things?
