Porting libtool to linux-icc (help)

[Allan Sandfeld Jensen]

Hi.

I've already submited a patch for subject, but recieved no feedback. After 
searching the archive I found a mail that explains that you need to be 
registered at FSF before you wish to accept any patches. As I am not 
registered at FSF and have no plans to become so, I want to try a different 
approach.

I hope some of you will create a patch for Intel C++ Compiler support. I can 
help by describing what needs to be done: 
The compilers are called icc for the C-compiler and icpc for the C++-compiler. 
Both compilers takes the same options as the GNU compilers. The two compilers 
also uses the GNU ld. So you only need to copy the flags given to gcc and 
g++.
There is two important differences from gcc though:
1. For the archivecmds remove the option -nostdlibs. 
2. For both compilers you need to set to set "archive_cmds_need_lc" to no.  
(if you link with -lc, the linking either breaks or the applications crashes 
when launched)

I hope I get some feedback this time.

Best regards
`Allan
