What is libbfd.la good for? It has dependency_libs=' -L/export/build/gnu/binutils-import/build-i686-linux/libiberty/pic -liberty' > useless without the libiberty.a that you don't want to include in your > package. > > > That is completely bogus for Linux. > > Nope, it's absolutely correct. > > Try to link with libbfd.la with -static, then drop -liberty from the > command line you get and you'll see why. > > > Please fix it. > > You still haven't shown that there's anything to be fixed. See about. I simply don't like the idea of dependency on static libraries under Linux. When I need libiberty.a, I will add -liberty. I don't need libtool to add things which don't belong there. libtool should just behave like ld/ar and nothing more.
