Re: libtool 1.5.8 on Solaris 8

[Carlos Fangmeier]

Hi, I checked and the system linker is the one that I currently use.
Until last week I thought it was better to use the system linker, but
now I'm not so sure. Could somebody tel me in which cases is better to
use the gnu and system linker. If the exception is one of this cases,
maybe there are more of such known isues, that could explain some other
behaivor relatet to threads and semaphore.
If there are any test  that you will interested to be done, I will be
glad to cooperate.


Best Regards
