Hi!

I found this in libtol/Changelog

2001-03-31  Gary V. Vaughan  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
 
        * ltmain.in: Remove the code for stripping duplicate deplibs
        from libtool link lines -- duplicates are somtimes necessary
        to satisfy inter-library dependencies, and never cause link to
        fail even if they are spurious.

And would like to note that this has been added back then because the
Solaris shell dies when the link line becomes longer then ~1000 bytes,
which happens quite fast if you're having 12 libs requiring each other
in a chain (e.g. KDE libraries). Back then it was also about duplicating
-L entries, maybe it works now nonetheless. 

Greetings, Stephan
