Thanks a lot for your replying.

Hmm... My commit message seems not to be enough. Sorry.
$file_list_spec is used if arguments being passed to a linker are too
many. That is, the total length of arguments is longer than
$max_cmd_len, which is set by LT_CMD_MAX_LEN($lt_cv_sys_max_cmd_len).
Without this patch, libtool tries to generate a re-loadable object.
However, such a object sometimes fails to being compiled on OS/2.
Whereas passing a list of objects to a linker via a response file has no
problem.
Still not enough ?
