I remember very vaguely. IIRC I have a patch for Libtool to deal with (IOW: rightly ignore) precompiled headers floating around somewhere. Is it that you're trying to create them, or merely use installed precompiled headers? Would it make sense to deal with precompiled headers for GCC only, or are other compilers interesting as well? For creation, I think this could very much complicate things, also I think it's not too good an idea to promote this portability-wise; their mere use should be possible though (I think it already is, but haven't tested). Cheers, Ralf
