Re: EBCDIC whitespace

[jean-frederic clere]

Hi Howard,

I have already sent a patch for EBCDIC support to libtool (in April 2002).
It will be in the next libtool release.

Could you check if it works on your machine? (See 
http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/libtool/ltmain.in.diff?r1=1.292&r2=1.293&f=h).

Cheers

Jean-frederic
