Thank you for comment. Just I've submitted a patch to pick "-framework" options from -Wl, and -Xlinker flags. I think I received no comment from the viewpoint of Fink maintainers. I want to hear the comments about my proposal checking the content of "-Wl," quoted flags. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2010-03/msg00001.html Although I noted an opinion requesting the consistent behaviour between raw "-framework" versus quoted "-Wl,-framework", there can be an objection like: The latest GNU libtool's handling of raw -framework is good, but more longer time is needed to be populated broadly and agreed to be safe (e.g. Fink still provides freetype-2.1.4 binary package, the version released on 2003). The preference to -Wl, quoted flag is based on its transparency. The proposed patch breaks its transparency (and disturbs long time testing), so it is not useful but harmful. I want to hear the comment from Fink maintainers about the detailed parsing of -Wl, quoted flags by GNU libtool.
