Currently Automake Makefiles include text like:
LTCXXCOMPILE = $(LIBTOOL) --mode=compile $(CXX) $(DEFS) \
$(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) \
$(AM_CXXFLAGS) $(CXXFLAGS)
Notice that there is no means provided to add libtool specific
options. The only means available is for the user to cut-and-past
this chunk into their Makefile.am so that it overrides Automake's
default. This has long term negative effects for Automake.
I recommend that Automake definitions which specify how libtool is
used include a place to add libtool options for that mode. For
example
LTCXXCOMPILE = $(LIBTOOL) $(LTCXXCOMPILEOPTS) --mode=compile $(CXX) $(DEFS) \
$(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) \
$(AM_CXXFLAGS) $(CXXFLAGS)
This way the user could specify a value for LTCXXCOMPILEOPTS and does
not need to replace the entire text.
