Since not pulling in all dependencies, direct and indirect, is a feature currently only enabled in Debian's version of libtool, this sounds like a limitation of that feature in Debian. That said, a fix would be interesting for upstream as well. IOW, I agree with you that there is a bug. It's not that it should specifically trust ld.so, just that it should not pull in indirect dependencies. Cheers, Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
