Can you try the patch below (against current git Libtool or a nightly

OK :) and my full name is Mahesh Narayanamurthi

Others, any issues with this patch?

I will check it out with the nightly version and let you know if there are any other issues with the patch.

BTW, you might need to pass --enable-dependency-tracking to configure if
you want it to work with nvcc.

Ok. Sure. Thanks. I will keep that in mind. 

Thanks,

Thanks Again. :-)
