That's part of what the multi-language branch does.

Which is wrong, because it assumes GCC will be used for linking, while
it won't always be, and you can't just pass -B, -b and -V flags to ld.
That's why libtool currently strips these flags off, and requires the
use of `-Wc,' or `-Wl,' to tell whether to pass flags to the linker or
to the compiler driver. Unfortunately, if ld is used for linking, the
-Wc, flags will never make it to the link command, but there's nothing
that can be done about it. Please try the multi-language branch
before trying to duplicate its work.

This is fine. Please post it to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and it will
eventually be installed.
