All,
Earlier this year libtool.m4 and friends received an update to support
the upcoming FreeBSD10.x version. Now as it seems it was not enough.
We need an additional update, especially the objformat detection needs a
fix. It is a one-liner, in libtool.m4. (around line 2273 of libtool.m4
we have to make sure that FreeBSD10.x does get elf iso. aout.)
To be prepared for FreeBSD20.x there are a couple more lines, but for
these we have time :)
My question is how to proceed? I have a certain respect to sync upstream
libtool.m4 and do all the config steps including testing for all targets.
I have done it for the mentioned changes, FreeBSD only, and posted the
results to the list.
Is it preferred to sync libtool.m4 completely? Or do we want to shift
this update for a later time? I'm aware of the closing stage one.
Gerald and I would like to see this happening on gcc-4.7/6/5.
I'd appreciate any comments on this topic.
TIA,
Andreas
