libtool 1.5.2* problem

[Vincent Torri]

Hey,

I know that libtool 1.5.2* is a very old version, not maintained anymore, 
but i would like to know if the problem that I have is related to that 
version or not. I cross compile to have a Windows dll (in case it matters)

I link a lib named 'toto' against libfoo.la. In libfoo.la, in the 
dependency_libs variable, I have libbar.la.

but the link command that creates libtoto.dll does not mention libbar.a 
file, nor all the dependencies that are in dependency_libs of libfoo.la

Is it a known behavior with that version of libtool ?

Note that there is no problem with libtool 2.2.*

thank you
