The resulting command line is a over half of the noted maximum detected on your system. Since the detection adds a safety margin, for this package you can probably get away simply by editing the generated libtool script after running configure and increasing max_cmd_len a bit, say doubling it. Does that ld support @-files (a command line argument of @FILE should cause it to read additional arguments from FILE) or --whole-archive? We'd need some way that is less buggy to shove more objects into a shared library, in order to deploy a better workaround in libtool. Or, preferably, somebody should fix your ld to support -r, or get the newer ld to work ... Cheers, Ralf _______________________________________________ http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
