Hmm. If I understand this correctly, I don't think this is exactly what I want, either. I'm writing a plugin for an application which dlopen's its plugins when it starts up. The application author has made available a plugin library (static, but pic), which I link with my code to build the plugin. This works fine using gcc on linux, but I can't get libtool to do it. Can libtool do this? I really appreciate your help in this, by the way.
