Well, doing so with the current code, without further adjustments, would break make install DESTDIR=/temporary/staging/area Also, please be aware that, whether relinking is done, is quite system dependent. With some systems it is never needed, with others it is always needed. Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
