libtool not hardlinking library path on sparc*-sun-solaris*

[Aleksandar Milivojevic]

I've a problem with libtool (1.5.22 and the version included with gcc 
4.0.2).  Platform is sparc*-sun-solaris*.  Using gcc 4.0.2.  The linker 
doesn't seem to influence it (I've had same problem with gcc build that 
uses Sun ld and the build that uses Gnu ld).

When creating shared libraries, the library path is not hardcoded into 
executable.  On Solaris system, this may result in dynamic linker 
failing to load dynamic libraries during runtime.

Looking at generated libtool script, it should have been hardcoded 
(hardcode_into_libs is correctly set to yes).

For example, if linking shared library (linkmode=lib), this is what I get:

./libtool --mode=link gcc -o libfoo.la -rpath /prefix/lib list-of-files
gcc -shared list-of-files -lc -Wl,-soname -Wl,libfoo.so.0 -o 
.libs/libfoo.so.0.0.0

The resulting link command is missing "-Wl,--rpath -Wl,/prefix/lib" 
options (example using Gnu ld).  Same thing happens when using gcc 
configured to use Sun ld.  Since libfoo.so is generated using gcc, it 
depends on libgcc_s.so which is installed in /prefix/lib (alongside the 
remainder of gcc package).

On the other hand, when linking programs (linkmode=prog), everything 
works as expected:

./libtool --mode=link gcc -o foo foo.o -rpath /prefix/lib
gcc -o foo foo.o  -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/prefix/lib

This is rather annoying problem.  Each time I'm generating shared 
library, I must fix things manually so that library search path (RPATH 
tag) is inserted into the library.
