That's usually too conservative. CVS Libtool's _LT_LINKER_OPTION takes empty stderr as success, or a zero diff between a link without and with the option in question. Mind you though, even this is far from fool- proof; in fact, there are some known failure cases where compilers or linkers are just too noisy. (This is also why we haven't suggested the macro for Autoconf yet.) Cheers, Ralf
