Sorry -- I was starting to do some testing, but got distracted by some side issues: (1) building libbfd/libopcodes as DLL on windows (with the new libtool support). This is related to: (2) using the new libtool to build libiberty Warning on #2: I dug up an old (gcc-patches mailing list, circa Oct 2004) attempt at this, and used it with some limited success. However, there are /issues/ with making libiberty into a libtoolized "convenience" library. See this thread: [RFC] New library "type" needed? http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2007-03/msg00022.html especially the final post: Simultaneous pic and non-pic convenience libs [Was: [RFC] New library..] http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2007-03/msg00038.html I'll rip that failed experiment out of my tree and try again with just Steve's patches; however I'd imagine Dave Korn will have results before I do. -- Chuck
