No, thank you!
I may have another patch for you this week :), assuring that the 
correct (just built) libs are linked against on darwin, and doing away 
with the requirement for relinking.

I did just notice (well, last night) that my test results lie, I must 
have been doing something very odd to make mdemo pass, you can't link 
against libs linked with -module on darwin, it must have been finding a 
static archive somewhere instead.

Perhaps libtool should discourage this (linking against libs which were 
linked with the -module flag) saying "this is not portable" or 
something, and not try to do it in the libtool tests.

The f77 tests fail (even though I went and installed f77) because 
autoconf does f77 -v to find the libs to link against, which on darwin 
at least, shows the start files, which are the same as those for c,c++ 
etc. and then when it tries to test if it can link something the same 
startfiles show up twice in the link line (once from autoconf, once 
from gcc), causing multiple definition errors.


Anyway, thanks again,
Peter
