Thanks! Could you also try HEAD? It's not very clear wether the
next release will be 1.5.1 or 1.6, although 1.6 will be there
roughly in a pair of months.
libtool from HEAD fails at one test (mdemo2-make.test), I didn't have
the time to check what went wrong, but will do that today.
There's also the question that the "gnu*)" test case in libtool.m4
doesn't have as many defined variables than other GNU-like
systems. Comparing to "kfreebsd*-gnu" and "knetbsd*-gnu", the
following are missing:
shlibpath_overrides_runpath=no
dynamic_linker='GNU ld.so'
Any comments on this? Perhaps we should ask the libtool
maintainers.
shlibpath_overrides_runpath should be set. What is dynamic_linker
used for? I only looked breifly at libtool, and it seems that it is
only used to print what linker we are using. If thats the case then I
think we should just stick with the default which is a bit more
informative then "GNU ld.so" (the default is "gnu0.3 ld.so").
Cheers.
