commit 66ce911b33bb43c2079dd701aa099df709387f48
Author: Peter Rosin <address@hidden>
Date:   Fri Aug 13 13:11:54 2010 +0200

    Allow the use of a listing file if the archiver supports it.
    
    * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_OLD_ARCHIVE): Move detection
    of a suitable archiver...
    (_LT_PROG_AR): ...to here. New macro, also detect if the
    archiver supports a listing file with the new variable
    archiver_list_spec.
    * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh: If the archiver supports a listing
    file, use it when max_cmd_len is exceeded.  This is needed for
    tool chains such as MSVC which do not support piece by piece
    linking (-r -o).
    * doc/libtool.texi (libtool script contents): Update with
    archiver_list_spec description.
