As in, for example, `-MF foo.Tpo', erroneously passed by the (non-Automake-using) innocent user in $(CFLAGS)? Or, FWIW, -Bstatic, which will let libtool make the completely wrong choices of libraries (at the moment) if allowed through? -Bstatic_pgi may very well also be in the category that libtool needs to know about it; I cannot know, you haven't told us what semantics it has, and the GNU/Linux PGI I have access to doesn't know about it either.
