Both of these patches cause the cdemo tests to FAILin their
respective branches, so I cannot apply them.

I've posted cleaned-up versions of the patch for HEAD and 
branch-1-4 in the patch tracker, item #31 and #32. 
Explanations are attached to #31. Errr.. were attached.. 
were lost by the site... Okay, I'll try to recall what I 
wrote.

The problem is that convenience libraries are added to both 
$convenience and $deplibs. That causes the library to be 
listed twice on the final link command line. That's a 
problem on platforms with pedantic linkers like Darwin, 
which complain about duplicate symbols as a result. Note 
that at the core this actually affects all platforms, not 
just Darwin. (There may be some that rely on the current 
errenous behaviour, though. whole_archive_flag_spec=' ' 
*cough*)

Hope this helps,
