Basic libtool-HEAD with this patch on cygwin (compiling in both dlopen
and loadlibrary loaders) compiles and passes all expected tests in the
suite.
Then I got ambitious, and did the following:
(1) modified ltdl.m4 so that ONLY loadlibrary loader is built for cygwin.
(a) bootstrap/conf/build/ran the entire testsuite. all pass.
(b) created a new builddir on a managed mount. repeat as above --
all pass.
(2) modified ltdl.m4 so that ONLY dlopen loader is built for cygwin.
(a) bootstrap/conf/build/ran the entire testsuite. all pass.
(b) created a new builddir on a managed mount. repeat as above --
all pass.
So it seems that, from a functional standpoint, Ralf's patch addresses
all of points (1), (2), and (3) from his earlier post.
That just leaves Eric's comments, and Ralf's point (4). I wonder if it
would be a good idea to add --enable/--disable configure flags for every
loader...with the "default" set of loaders determined on a per-platform
basis. That's the most flexible (and wouldn't be a cygwin-specific
hack), but it seems like it could be really complicated.
