Re: ld --auto-import for cygwin and libtool


Sorry this reply breaks "threading" but I dunno how to reply directly to 
specific mailing list messages when I'm not subscribed; I can only reply 
to my own message. :-(

Thanks for your correction, Ralf. I missed it when I checked for it the 
first time.  Yes: Robert's version DOES include the bugfix patch.

Yes, as Robert Collins pointed out, using the modified binutils I pass 
all libtool tests but three: build-relink, build-relink2, and quote. 
The build-relink/2 problems are related to the 
"shlibpath_overrides_runpath=yes" difficulties reported earlier, and the 
ensuing discussion of "wrapper scripts" and "wrapper executables".

Off-topic here; this should be discussed on the libtool list.  Let's try 
to keep the thread (at least on binutils mailing list) focused 
specifically on the proposed patch to binutils.
