Hello, Marco,

Thanks for pinging this -- I'm trying to work through some of the libtool patch backlog, and I'll have a look at this in the next few days.

I note that David Turner also posted a patch for Android support in libtool more recently:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2013-06/msg00002.html

The patches are fairly similar, although I think the organization of David's patch (which keeps the "Android" and "glibc/ELF" blocks entirely separate) is a bit better since Android is not glibc-based.

The one key difference here is that your patch uses $libname$shared_ext for library_names_spec and soname_spec, whereas David's uses $libname$release$shared_ext. Is there a particular argument in favor of one or the other of these?

Hi all,
I hope i'm writing to the right list. In the process of poring QGIS to
android I encountred a big limitation. The android system does not
support versioned shared libs. I wrote the attached patch and used it in
the configure scripts of 6 different libs (geos, proj, gsl, expat, gdal,
libiconv) with success.
I think more and more people will start soon porting more libs to
android, so it would be nice to have this in libtool. the crosscompiler
host call to use is: --host=arm-linux-androideabi

Thanks a lot for the great tool
