They are very very likely _not_ bogus in your case, and your case very very likely has nothing whatsoever to do with Bob's. Linking shared libraries against static ones is a bad idea in general, and most often a hack. IIRC the warning was bogusly output sometimes when the "static" library really was a convenience archive. And there are cases on w32 systems where you simply have to link against static libraries in some cases. > I have not removed this, so I'm not sure if the most recent libtool > still issues these warnings and refuses to build the shared libraries. Wait until you move from you GNU Linux/x86 to a x86_64 one, for example (I'm guessing here; please correct me if wrong), to see your setup blow up. Hope that helps.
