Hello,

I have a small problem with libtool on a Dec Alpha machine
(alphaev56-dec-osf4.0f.) I have LDFLAGS set to "-all-static -lm" in my
Makefile.am files. Still, I noticed -all-static is not converted to non_shared
(*). I traced the problem to the fact that even though the environment variable
CXX is set to cxx; ${GCC} is set to "yes". Yes, gcc is also installed, but I
prefer to use cxx on this machine. The logic in the resulting configure file
is:

  if test "$GCC" = yes; then
      lt_cv_prog_cc_wl='-Wl,'
      lt_cv_prog_cc_static='-static'
      case $host_os in
      ...
            beos* | irix5* | irix6* | osf3* | osf4* | osf5*)
            # PIC is the default for these OSes.
            ;;
      ...

Hence, the problem when gcc exists and another compiler is chosen. Would you
consider this a bug? Thanks.

(*) The symptom from ld:

ld (prelink):
-static is an obsolete undocumented option for linking kernels--perhaps you 
meant -non_shared? Unresolved:
