Hi Charles, I've taken a deeper look into the libtool sources and found a hint relating to the way other os do this checking, for example
libtool.m4.in <snip> # AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD <snip> pass_all ======== gnu*) irix5* | irix6* | nonstopux*) linux*) (most hosts) osf3* | osf4* | osf5*) sco3.2v5*) solaris*) sysv5OpenUNIX8* | sysv5UnixWare7* | sysv5uw[[78]]* | unixware7* | sysv4*uw2*) aix4* | aix5*) beos) file_magic ========== bsdi4*) pw32*) darwin* | rhapsody*) freebsd*) hpux10.20* | hpux11*) newos6*) openbsd*) sysv4 | sysv4.2uw2* | sysv4.3* | sysv5*) match_pattern netbsd*) unknown nto-qnx) cygwin* | mingw* ) lt_cv_deplibs_check_method='pass_all' # RH cygwin* | mingw* ) lt_cv_deplibs_check_method='file_magic' # CW Also in case you tell me that this is to late, see this for information purpose. I can see from this, that major unix platforms use 'pass_all', so there couldn't be so much issues.
