RE: libtool doesn't process LD_FLAGS arguments properly

[Gavrilov, Roman]

Hi Gary,
Libtool ... -Wl,-rpath-link -Wl,PATH does work, now libtool passes it to
linker as is, but I don't think compiler would understand those
arguments as it expects the PATH to follow -Wl,-rpath-link.

Try:

  libtool ... -Wl,-rpath-link -Wl,PATH

or:

  libtool ... -Xlinker -rpath-link -Xlinker PATH

If PATH also has spaces in it, libtool will probably get confused (shell
scripts are extremely difficult to get right with embedded spaces).  You
can work around that by creating a soft-link to a new path with no
spaces in it, and then pass *that* path in to libtool.
