I searched where to apply patch in distribution and I found this code
(in ltcf-c.sh)

  darwin* | rhapsody*)
    case "$host_os" in
    rhapsody* | darwin1.[012])
      allow_undefined_flag='-undefined suppress'
      ;;
    *) # Darwin 1.3 on
      allow_undefined_flag='-flat_namespace -undefined suppress'
      ;;
    esac
    archive_cmds='$CC $(if test .$module = .yes; then echo -bundle; else
echo -dynamiclib; fi) $allow_undefined_flag -o $lib $libobjs $deplibs
$linkopts -install_name $rpath/$soname $verstring'
    # We need to add '_' to the symbols in $export_symbols first
    #archive_expsym_cmds="$archive_cmds"' && strip -s $export_symbols
$lib'
    hardcode_direct=yes
    hardcode_shlibpath_var=no
    whole_archive_flag_spec='-all_load $convenience'
    ;;

so the line is processed only on Apple machines (rhapsody is another
Apple platform)... I don't have this file, the code it's in my configure
script, however is much more complex:

    darwin* | rhapsody*)
    if $CC -v 2>&1 | grep 'Apple' >/dev/null ; then
      archive_cmds_need_lc=no
      case "$host_os" in
      rhapsody* | darwin1.[012])
        allow_undefined_flag='-undefined suppress'
        ;;
      *) # Darwin 1.3 on
        test -z ${LD_TWOLEVEL_NAMESPACE} &&
allow_undefined_flag='-flat_namespace -undefined suppress'
        ;;
      esac
      # FIXME: Relying on posixy $() will cause problems for
      #        cross-compilation, but unfortunately the echo tests do
not
      #        yet detect zsh echo's removal of \ escapes.  Also zsh
mangles
      #        `"' quotes if we put them in here... so don't!
        lt_int_apple_cc_single_mod=no
        output_verbose_link_cmd='echo'
        if $CC -dumpspecs 2>&1 | grep 'single_module' >/dev/null ; then
          lt_int_apple_cc_single_mod=yes
        fi
        if test "X$lt_int_apple_cc_single_mod" = Xyes ; then
          archive_cmds='$CC -dynamiclib -single_module
$allow_undefined_flag -o $lib $libobjs $deplibs $compiler_flags

        else

I don't understand why darwin it's so different !!! I hope one day will
have more compatible tools >:-<
