Re: Bug fix for libtool 1.4.2 AIX 5

[Christian Ferrari]

Because the same bugged code is in place in 1.4.3 too: type

grep 'archive_expsym_cmds=' *|grep 'crlo'

in libtool-1.4.3.tar.gz package root dir, you will se something like this:

acinclude.m4: 
archive_expsym_cmds="\$CC $shared_flag"' -o $output_objdir/$soname 
$libobjs $deplibs $compiler_flags ${allow_undefined_flag} 
'"\${wl}$no_entry_flag \${wl}$exp_sym_flag:\$export_symbols"' ~$AR -crlo 
$objdir/$libname$release.a $objdir/$soname'
aclocal.m4: 
archive_expsym_cmds="\$CC $shared_flag"' -o $output_objdir/$soname 
$libobjs $deplibs $compiler_flags ${allow_undefined_flag} 
'"\${wl}$no_entry_flag \${wl}$exp_sym_flag:\$export_symbols"' ~$AR -crlo 
$objdir/$libname$release.a $objdir/$soname'
configure: 
archive_expsym_cmds="\$CC $shared_flag"' -o $output_objdir/$soname 
$libobjs $deplibs $compiler_flags ${allow_undefined_flag} 
'"\${wl}$no_entry_flag \${wl}$exp_sym_flag:\$export_symbols"' ~$AR -crlo 
$objdir/$libname$release.a $objdir/$soname'
libtool.m4: 
archive_expsym_cmds="\$CC $shared_flag"' -o $output_objdir/$soname 
$libobjs $deplibs $compiler_flags ${allow_undefined_flag} 
'"\${wl}$no_entry_flag \${wl}$exp_sym_flag:\$export_symbols"' ~$AR -crlo 
$objdir/$libname$release.a $objdir/$soname'

in my opinion, "$objdir" should be "$output_objdir" to allow building in 
a directory different than current dir (or the value of "$objdir" is not 
right in AIX 5 version).
