LT 2.2.4 problem with Absoft Fortran 90 compiler

[Jeff Squyres]

Greetings!

I have another LT 2.2.4 bug report from the Open MPI project (recall:  
we just switched our nightly snapshot tarballs from an old LT 2.1a  
snapshot to LT 2.2.4).  Our nightly regression tests have turned up  
another problem a few days ago (but I just noticed it this morning),  
this time with the Absoft Fortran 90 compiler on a Linux ia32 platform.

When creating a Fortran 90 shared library, it looks like LT 2.2.4 is  
passing -soname to the Absoft f90 compiler:

libtool: link: f90 -shared .libs/mpi.o .libs/mpi_sizeof.o .libs/ 
mpi_comm_spawn_multiple_f90.o .libs/mpi_testall_f90.o .libs/ 
mpi_testsome_f90.o .libs/mpi_waitall_f90.o .libs/ 
mpi_waitsome_f90.o .libs/mpi_wtick_f90.o .libs/mpi_wtime_f90.o -lnsl - 
lutil -lm -lpthread -soname libmpi_f90.so.0 -o .libs/libmpi_f90.so.0.0.0

But the Absoft f90 compiler doesn't like this option:

ERROR: Unrecognized arguments: -soname ERROR: File not found:  
libmpi_f90.so.0

Per the bug I sent yesterday (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-libtool/2008-05/msg00045.html 
), this worked fine with the LT 2.1a snapshot that we were using for a  
long time.

Here's a link to our testing database that shows the failure:

    http://www.open-mpi.org/mtt/index.php?do_redir=661
    (scroll all the way down to the bottom to see it)

And here's a link to a successful build with the older LT2.1a:

    http://www.open-mpi.org/mtt/index.php?do_redir=662
    (unfortunately, the stdout is not saved if the build was  
successful)

I do not have direct access to these machines, but I think we could  
get any files (e.g., config.log) if they would be helpful.  I don't  
know offhand what option was used in the LT 2.1a snapshot to create  
the shared library (instead of -soname); we could probably get the  
stdout of a build from the LT 2.1a snapshot if it would be helpful.

Thanks!
