[PATCH] Re: Problem on rs6000-ibm-aix4.3.2.0 (Fortran) -DPIC

2003-01-15 Thread Robert Boehne
Ok, here it is. This patch changes AC_LIBTOOL_PROG_COMPILER_PIC so that it only appends -DPIC to the default "C" tag and the CXX tag for C++. I would also like to deprecate -DPIC in the 1.5 release to make it clear we intend to do away with it. I would also like to ask anyone who does depend on

Hi, > Good point, we never really resolved this issue. > All in favor of dropping -DPIC entirely say "I"! I'm against it. If you have optimized assembler versions of some code for some platforms (like the STL has, for example) and some of that code is not PIC, it is a good idea to enclose it i

I have just run into problems trying to use libtool on a rs6000-ibm-aix4.3.2.0 system to build a library written in Fortran with the IBM compiler xlf/xlf90. There is an immediate compilation failure stating: xlf90: 1501-210 command option P contains an incorrect subargument libtool appears to in
