libtool: remove OpenBSD support for non-shared and a.out archs
OpenBSD stopped supporting the last non-shared arch 8 years ago
and stopped supporting a.out 10.5 years ago.
This cannot be reason to drop support.
For instance RHEL was release in 2011 and is still supported.
i'm on the fence here, and i don't know what historical guidance/policy
libtool has had. i looked through HACKING & the manual and didn't find
anything relevant.
Some projects still support c89.
How long to support a functionality is good question.
When hardware die some legacy system have no other optionsĀ expect to switch to
new releases. If exist one ...
yeah, that's an old target, but libtool supports things older than that.
