Which of those flags are important for HP-UX 10.20 ld? Good catch BTW! > $inherited_linker_flags is added to $compiler_flags but > $compiler_flags is used only when cc is used to create a shared > library.

Yes, but that is fragile. At least, it would need a comment that whatever is added to new_inherited_linker_flags should also be understood by the linker iff $LD is used to link. Then, do we need to pass any of those flags to $LD while doing partial linking (reload_cmds)? Probably not, but I'm not sure. It'd be good to have a test for this; the use of $LD in archive_cmds will likely provoke other failures; putting all of them in a test may help us preserve libtool functioning on HP-UX 10.20. (I can try to write one once we've settled on the rest.) Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
