From what I recall, we had to do this to get C++ exception handling towork correctly. Gary and Bob, does this ring a bell?
It'd be great if doing is no longer necessary since it is a point of contention among many folks. To be honest, I was never really sure why needed to do this. I was going on Alexandre's word when I introduced this code a few years ago. :-)
I am glad to see that you responded to this since you were the one who made multi-lingual libtool possible. Thank you very much.
It seems to me that if the C++ compiler is used to link, then C++ exceptions will work. If the system linker is used, then it is possible that C++ exceptions will not work at all, even if the extra libraries are applied.
