Well, the bug report that prompted this addition: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2008-01/msg00033.html> <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-libtool/2008-01/msg00009.html> needed F[ID] rather than [FID]. GCC 4.0.0 is used there on AIX. Did GCC change since then, or is this system-dependent? Thanks, Ralf
