> I don't remember why you rejected it. The reason was that your patch enabled dependency tracking control that is unnecessary for most GNU/Linux systems. It was only necessary for old ARM systems whose glibc was broken. Perhaps such dependency control is also necessary for mips, because of the way its relocations are set up, in which case you could have removed mips|mipsel from the list of cpus that can use pass_all, and added a case for mips|mipsel with a file_magic that handled the output of file on mips. I.e., fix the problem you had without causing problems for others, exactly the way I had asked for earlier. But no, you had to go ahead and make libtool slower on all other GNU/Linux architectures slower because you didn't understand what was going on and chose not to take my advice. Nice move! :-/ Now please submit a patch for libtool that reverts your incorrect patch and introduces the correct fix I suggest above.
