This is a follow up patch with the libtool changes for the top-level of 
the GCC and binutils tree.  My first attempt to send this bounced 
because the patch was too big.  Here is is as a compressed attachment. 
The patch does not delete ltconfig, ltcf-c.sh, ltcf-cxx.sh, and 
ltcf-gcj.sh.  That needs to be done by hand.

Re: Patch to update libtool in GCC and binutils trees

I tested the new libtool on HP-UX and Linux over the weekend.  The
builds all worked fine but I got many C++ failures during testing on
IA64 HP-UX, PA HP-UX (32 bits), and x86_64 Linux.  All the failures
seemed to involve trouble finding the libstdc++ library when linking
test programs.  On IA64 HP-UX, testing worked in default 32 bit mode but
failed in 64 bit mode because we have a -L that finds the 32 bit
libstdc++ library before one that finds the 64 bit version.  On PA and
x86_64, we just don't seem to find libstdc++ at all.

I'll see if I can figure out what is going on.

Thanks.  By the way, next time it's best if you don't post the
new libtool files as a patch, but just attach them or a .tar.gz
of them.  Just post the configure.ac/Makefile.am changes as diffs.

Sorry for not asking for this the previous time.

Please add a comment in libgfortran/Makefile.am.

Also, please resend with the libtool code to help people test the
precise version you'll commit. (*)  In particular, David, I'd
appreciate if you could test AIX before the commit.

I guess you can do HP-UX yourself, I'll do i686-linux as soon as
you post the updated patch.  I'll also try a combined tree with
newlib on arm-elf next week.  Please wait for these tests to
be finished before committing, as the patch seems pretty easy
to maintain.

Thanks very much for this work!

(*) sending this first round without libtool was a good idea though

What are the tool versions required to regenerate everything? Are
there special command lines to be issued, or just ./configure
--enable-maintainer-mode?
