Doh! Sometimes I fail to see the forest for the trees. So I copied the link line and added the --perserve-dup-deps flag. Something weird happens here. It's cutting off a lot of the file names. I thought at first it was a copy and paste error but its not - libtool seems to be doing something really weird. Out put below.
Thanks.

If you are using Automake 1.10, then you can put this in LIBTOOLFLAGS (as user) or AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS (as developer). But just for testing, please go into the right directory and simply issue the link command line manually, with --preserve-dup-deps added. And post what happens. Thing is, this switch isn't as "helpful" as one would think at first, and I would like to know if that is the case in your case or not. :-) If it's not, then we will look further. Cheers, Ralf
