Hi, for the curious, this is how I've done the testing:

Cloned git://git.sv.gnu.org/libtool.git, applied the two patches meanwhile pushed here: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libtool.git/log/?id=845ff0b76837a630eb54d23eb66912339b589a65&showmsg=1 Doing $ ./bootstrap && ./configure && make dist created "libtool-2.4.3.37-ef71.tar.gz" as the reference. Then, applied this one patch to be tested, doing $ ./bootstrap && ./configure && make dist created "libtool-2.4.3.38-b0be1.tar.gz" as the testee. For testing all the different setups with different compilers I've pushed https://github.com/haubi/libtool-testing The scripts found in aix/ there does testsuite runs with all possible combinations of these settings: * gcc/g++, xlc/g++, xlc/xlC as available on the host machine * 32 and 64 bit * --with-aix-soname=aix|both|svr4 each, when supported by the testee * with and without LDFLAGS=-Wl,-brtl Starting the different test setups $ gzip -dc libtool-2.4.3.37-ef71.tar.gz | tar xf - $ ./libtool-testing/aix/runtests.sh -j6 libtool-2.4.3.37-ef71 & does the reference's testsuite runs in ./test-libtool-2.4.3.37-ef71/ Similar, $ gzip -dc libtool-2.4.3.38-b0be1.tar.gz | tar xf - $ ./libtool-testing/aix/runtests.sh -j6 libtool-2.4.3.38-b0be1 & does the testee's testsuite runs in ./test-libtool-2.4.3.38-b0be1/ To compare reference's with testee's test results from all different runs: $ ./libtool-testing/aix/analysetests.sh libtool-2.4.3.37-ef71 test-libtool-2.4.3.3* Thanks! /haubi/
