The following depend on the C compiler:
- the flag used to pass -rpath to the linker. Sometimes it's
"-Wl,", sometimes it's "-Qoption,ld,", sometimes it's empty.
- on AIX, also the way shared libraries are supported.

Yes, if one is willing to copy some pieces of libtool.m4 to ltmain.sh,
so that the configured libtool has information about all compilers
that run on the particular platform.
