Now, I have another problem:
gcc: -install_name only allowed with -dynamiclib

Oh, I see.

So, there's a chance that my fix goes into an official libtool release?
That would be great!

The fix I 'introduced' above exactly does this.

The zsh quoting bug? Not at all. As I said, I am using bash.
It doesn't hurt me at all, when the zsh support finally gets
completely removed.

All what I want are three things:

1) That my above fix becomes part of one of the next libtool releases
2) That libtool calls gcc with the right params, so that gcc doesn't break
the compiling process with 'gcc: -install_name only allowed with
-dynamiclib'
3) The the right fix for 2) becomes part of libtool, too.

Do you mean the macro defined there
?
