> Currently libtool does not properly detect elftoolchain's version of strip(1). > The proposed patch fixes this.
For reference, this issue has been discussed in FreeBSD at https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198611 It's possible to simplify the test a little bit; $EGREP is already used in libtool.m4. This is what I had: --- a/m4/libtool.m4 +++ b/m4/libtool.m4 @@ -2207,7 +2207,8 @@ m4_defun([_LT_CMD_STRIPLIB], striplib= old_striplib= AC_MSG_CHECKING([whether stripping libraries is possible]) -if test -n "$STRIP" && $STRIP -V 2>&1 | $GREP "GNU strip" >/dev/null; then +if test -n "$STRIP" && $STRIP -V 2>&1 | + $EGREP "GNU strip|strip.*elftoolchain" >/dev/null; then test -z "$old_striplib" && old_striplib="$STRIP --strip-debug" test -z "$striplib" && striplib="$STRIP --strip-unneeded" AC_MSG_RESULT([yes])
