[Clfs-dev] broken binutils libtool file

[Daniel Roberts]

At this point forget about the whole libtool dependancy_lib issues.  The stuff you see is evidence of crap passing through from tools to the final.

Curious.......my old SVN-20051223 lfs build (32bit) has the same 
dependency_libs line as above....

My clfs 1.0.0 from last year (x86_64-64) quotes ;

dependency_libs=' '

My current clfs-1.1.0 (x86_64_multilib) is the same. 

As I've still got the tools/crosstools trees from this build handy, I've discovered 
this all starts back during these initial stages -- these binutils builds also have
the libbfd.la line ; dependency_libs=' -L/sources/binutils-build/libiberty/pic -liberty'

However, in the final (chapter 10) build of binutils, this libtool file line results as;

dependency_libs=' '


At a glance, this looks like some weirdness  with the  '--enable-shared'  switch
supplied to the configure script, which somehow construes...

 WIN32LIBADD="-L../libiberty/pic -liberty"

...or part thereof, at or around line 18898  in  binutils-2.xx/bfd/configure .

 
I believe     dependency_libs=' '    is probably correct.

Don
