I don't think the BSDs do anything like this, but I'm not sure. Best would be if somebody tried this.

Nobody is saying the BSDs should be doing anything different, I think. This is a bug in Libtool/libltdl, only I'm not yet sure about how to fix it properly. Thanks for the pointers, Ralf _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
