Hi Peter,

Sorry for the long delay.

When building packages using libtool there frequently are (lots of) warnings
such as (edited to avoid overlong lines):

libtool: link: warning: \
        `/usr/lib/gcc/ix86-linux-gnu/3.4.5/../../..//libgmodule-2.0.la' \
        seems to be moved

whereas in fact
        /usr/lib/gcc/ix86-linux-gnu/3.4.5/../../..
is the same as
        /usr/lib
where libgmodule-2.0.la was installed.

Would it be possible to avoid this noise by checking that the two paths are
actually the same

Hmm.

(or maybe that's already in the CVS)?

No, that is not fixed.

The problem with fixing this is that the warning is trivial albeit a bit
runtime-expensive to fix, ...........

.........  So no, I don't think it is
a good idea to apply this patch.

Hi Ralf,

OK, I see. In the case I mentioned above, I'm almost certain the
non-canonical paths originate from gcc (gcc --print-xxx).

Maybe gcc could be taught not to produce these (but who is going to convince
the gcc people?).
