We were inconsistent in matching flags matching -flto?* or -fwhopr?*
(in glob notation); GCC has more flags matching either. It seems fairly
safe to allow all of these through.
On the other hand, from looking at the semantics it seems like the right
thing to _not_ allow through -fwhole-program for shared library creation
as that flag will let GCC think the library represents the whole program
and may radically optimize away everything, e.g., when there is no entry
point like main.
Pushed to the lto branch, merged into master.
Cheers,
Ralf
LTO: consistently accept -fwhopr* and -flto* for GCC.
* libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Accept -fwhopr*.
* libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_HIDDEN_LIBDEPS): Also match
-flto*.
