If you're speaking about this statement http://www.openldap.org/cgi-bin/wilma_hiliter/openldap-devel/200605/msg00000.html?line=37#hilite then I think what you're expecting and what libtool offers simply doesn't match. And I think the documentation does not claim otherwise. (If you disagree, I'd be glad about a bug report.) There is currently no portable way to ensure all objects (and thus all their symbols) of a library linked statically to a program end up being included except listing all the objects. Per-deplib flags would fix that (-whole-archive), for example, as would another, libtool-specific (but portable to all systems) syntax. Adding this feature (may not be desirable at this point but) is not difficult. You're not the first to ask for this feature though, I think we should add it. If instead "misbehave" refers to some other issue caused by using -export-dynamic, then I have not been able to find it (by quickly searching the openldap lists), and would be happy about any more information.
