Oh well. > I do not believe the patch is complete, but might be something > you can start with if you really want to get this working. The attempt by Derek Price is *much* *much* more complete and useful. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2005-07/msg00047.html (This is mentioned on http://tkd.kicks-ass.net/GnuLibtoolProject/RoadMap by the way.) Please don't do the same work again, needlessly: the mentioned thread also explains why we could not apply the patch as-is; in addition to the fact that comprehensive testing is necessary (stresstest.at may be useful for that part).
