Hi Ralf,

Does this patch fix things for you?  As far as I see, you should be
getting -fPIC passed instead of -fno-common, so it's not completely
clear that this is right, or what other changes MacPorts has done to
their glibtool code over upstream Libtool.  Please also send 'glibtool
--config' output.

OK to apply?  OK to add you to THANKS, Paweł?

Thanks for your prompt reply. Unfortunately the patch doesn't seem to change anything. Perhaps I'm doing something completely wrong. I expect that libtool after invoking in compile mode with nvcc instead of gcc should add -Xcompiler where needed, but I get:

address@hidden:~/sandbox/libdesc/libdesc/trunk$ /opt/local/bin/glibtool -n --mode=compile --tag=CC nvcc foo.cu -o foo.lo
glibtool: compile:  nvcc foo.cu  -fno-common -DPIC -o .libs/foo.o
glibtool: compile:  nvcc foo.cu -o foo.o >/dev/null 2>&1

I also get the same behavior on Linux, but in this case I didn't install libtool-2.4, just downloaded and compiled in temp directory.

address@hidden:~/tmp/libtool-2.4$ ./libtool -n --mode=compile --tag=CC nvcc foo.cu -o foo.lo
libtool: compile:  nvcc foo.cu  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/foo.o
libtool: compile:  nvcc foo.cu -o foo.o >/dev/null 2>&1


I have always treated libtool as a black box which just works, and know very little about its internals. Nevertheless libtool doesn't seem to depend on any external files, and contains no "nvcc" string. Maybe I miss something during the compilation phase.

Below you will find output of libtool -config.

Thanks,

Paweł
