Kevin: Could you try changing AR_FLAGS in your libtool script to see if that works? This problem is really inherent in our design, or an inherent problem in using objects with the same name in a single library, depending on your point of view. ;) I don't really see a way around this, unless some other combination of ar flags is found to not produce any regressions on any platform. I'm open to ideas though...
