Hi Bob, It is my opinion that if a library or program is linked with C++ libraries (and especially if it is a static build!) that it should be linked using the C++ linker. Likewise, if a library or program does not depend on, or contain any C++ code, it should be linked with the C linker.
I surely agree, in principle. But that doesn't mean I have the faintest idea what to change in Automake to make that be the case. You probably know better than me :). Can you provide (as simple as possible) test cases? I have a continuing problem that when libtool tests bug-libt...@gnu.org for that one, I think ... --best, karl.
