Would you happen to know why "--one_instantiation_per_object" is not
the KCC default?  I'm not sure that it is a good idea to make libtool
change the default behavior of the compiler.  IMHO, it should be up to
the user to add "--one_instantiation_per_object" to CXXFLAGS if they
need it, not libtool.

The Compaq C++ compiler is also already supported in the
multi-language branch libtool.

I'd be interested in any feedback you might have regarding that
support.
