I've been blissfully trying to avoid libtool discussions but I have to ask my standard question of "what about hybrid libraries which contain import symbols and actual linkable objects, like the cygwin DLL". I assume that this has been discussed but it's hard for me to believe that any discussion would end with "We won't worry about them, then". That seems to be counter to what libtool is all about. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
