Excellent.  I think you're the third one to report success with John's hack.


I'm very reluctant to "upgrade" our libtool; there are too many unknowns as
far as I'm concerned.  I'm much happier trying to patch it for now.  

Could someone please post a "diff -u libtool-orig libtool"?  I wonder if
it's not possible to patch ltmain.sh such that libtool Just Works on OS X.
Then we can all go home early.  

Also, what version are y'all running?  Is everyone using 10.3?  Because
there are several case statements in ltmain.sh that look like they might be
references to the version number.  I'm guessing, of course.  Example:

case $host in
*-*-rhapsody* | *-*-darwin1.[012])
                             ^^^  OS X 0/1/2?  
  # On Rhapsody replace the C library is the System framework
  compile_deplibs=`$echo "X $compile_deplibs" \
        | $Xsed -e 's/ -lc / -framework System /'`
  finalize_deplibs=`$echo "X $finalize_deplibs" \
        | $Xsed -e 's/ -lc / -framework System /'`
  ;;
esac

In any event, we might be able to trace back where line 205 is generated and
fix the distribution.  That would be nice, better than documenting the patch
in the UG.
