hello,
In a project i'm following, i've seen that bug report:
https://phab.enlightenment.org/T2225
The build system pass a huge number of identical options and libtool does not
try to remove them
is it a problem with libtool (that is, libtool should indeed remove such
identical options) or in the build system (that is,
we should optimize the build system so that non identical options are passed) ?
The URL you posted requires a login. Are you able to provide an
example or summarize the problematic identical options here?
Libtool is not intended to be an optimizer. If it drops or re-orders
options (as happens sometimes), then the build may fail.
A list of arguments which is already too long when libtool is invoked
is already a lost cause.
