Ok, I see. New (untested) patch attached.
BTW, I noticed something which looks a bit strange to me. Beginning at
approximately line 2180 of libtool.m4 (from the head CVS branch),
there are a lot of shell variables which are set up. But some of them
are just set to their current value, for instance like this:
[...]
# The host system.
host_alias=$host_alias
host=$host
[...]
# A symbol stripping program
STRIP=$STRIP
# Used to examine libraries when file_magic_cmd begins "file"
MAGIC_CMD=$MAGIC_CMD
# Used on cygwin: DLL creation program.
DLLTOOL="$DLLTOOL"
# Used on cygwin: object dumper.
OBJDUMP="$OBJDUMP"
# Used on cygwin: assembler.
AS="$AS"
[...]
..etc, etc. What is the point in doing this?
Regards,
Morten
