[PHP-DEV] Libtool problem with current build process

[Jason Greene]

Sascha + Everyone,

There is a current build problem with libtool where we pass -prefer-non-pic or 
-prefer-pic during mode=link.
Since this is not a valid mode=link option it gets passed to the linker as an option. 
On some platforms (Sun CC),
this cuases an error and aborts. I started to take a look at making a fix, but the 
build system is quite large, and
since I don't feel like breaking, I decided to just email my progress, and see what 
else should be accounted for.

This tiny patch is part of some changes that I think should be made. This changes the 
standard_libtool_flag,
which just gets added to CFLAGS, to using a compile_libtool_flag, and exporting it out 
so that all the other pieces
of the system can use it.

Thanks,
-Jason

The main problem here is that we need to add the -prefer*pic
options to CFLAGS, or otherwise it won't get used by the
automake Makefiles.  I'd be happy to hear a solution for that
which does not involve throwing out automake as I personally
don't have the time for that currently.
