Note that the linker that needs to figure this out is actually the dynamic linker as such dependencies should be resolved at run-time, *not* at link time. A linker that does such resolution at link time actually re-adds most of the problems that libtool currently causes. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
