Hi, It was reported [1] that error messages from a libtool invocation have additional spaces after the package name before the error message. After looking into this, it seems that gnulib-modules/bootstrap is the cause.
Here is an example: libtool: error: only absolute run-paths are allowed Here is the relevant code in bootstrap: ``` # func_error ARG... # ----------------- # Echo program name prefixed message to standard error. func_error () { $debug_cmd $require_term_colors func_echo_infix_1 " $tc_standout${tc_red}error$tc_reset" "$*" >&2 } # func_fatal_error ARG... # ----------------------- # Echo program name prefixed message to standard error, and exit. func_fatal_error () { $debug_cmd func_error "$*" exit $EXIT_FAILURE } ``` Is there a reason for the extra spacing, or could this be changed?
