Would perhaps a "--disable-sanity-checks" flag be permissable for this then? My biggest problem is that in doing this whole converting to auto*/libtool, I have no good way of testing to make sure that I've got it all right because that would involve recompiling everything. There's a few places where there's room for subtle ABI weirdness and I'd like to be able to know for certain that I haven't done anything wrong. Certainly after this, this right thing is to switch to -version-info -- learning from failures is nice in theory... but in practice, it sucks :) - Wolfgang Jaehrling _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
