        (_LT_SYS_HIDDEN_LIBDEPS): Double-quote $output_verbose_link_cmd
        properly during evaluation, obsoleting $no_glob_subst mangling.

2007-08-05  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (try_dlopen): Use `attempt' rather than

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_emit_cwrapperexe_src): Add
        support for Microsoft Visual C. Also, older MinGW versions

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER) [linux]:

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Strip the cwrapper
        using $STRIP instead of relying on the tools to support -s, which
        MSVC doesn't.

2007-06-24  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Add a test to simulate a failure visible on systems which
        need a library prefix like 'lib', such as BeOS.  Fix a number
        of bugs exposed by this test in order for it to pass.
        Currently the prefix is hardcoded as 'lib', as I am not aware
        of systems that require a different prefix:

        * libltdl/loaders/preopen.c (lt_dlpreload_open):  Move error
        condition out of test loop to be sure that each originator is
        tried, instead of erroring out if the first doesn't match.
        Support passing NULL as the originator to load all preloaded
        modules originating in the program itself.
        * libltdl/lt_dlloader.c (lt_dlloader_dump): New debug function.
        * libltdl/libltdl/lt_dlloader.h (lt_dlloader_dump): Declare it
        when LT_DEBUG_LOADERS is defined at compile time.
        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlinit): Dump loader list after successful
        initialisation.
        (tryall_dlopen): Add a new VTABLE parameter to force use of a
        specific loader in preference to trying every loader in turn.
        Adjust all callers.
        (try_dlopen): Always see whether a module was preloaded for
        module names with no directory component before searching the
        filesystem for a match.
        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CMD_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS): Declare
        a new global_symbol_to_c_name_address_lib_prefix variable.
        (global_symbol_to_c_name_address_lib_prefix): The sed
        expressions to use when a lib prefix is enforced need to be
        slightly different to work with preloaded modules.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_generate_dlsyms): In order
        to name preloaded symbols correctly for the lookup algorithm
        to work when the loaded module file must be prefixed with lib.
        Use global_symbol_to_c_name_address_lib_prefix when
        need_lib_prefix is other than no.
        * tests/need_lib_prefix.at: New test to check for breakage on
        hosts where need_lib_prefix is unknown.
        * Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Add new test.
        * tests/TODO: Note missing tests that would have caught some
        of the latent bugs fixed by this patch.
        * HACKING: Document libltdl keyword.
        * NEWS: Updated.

2007-06-24  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Reenable compilation of libltdl with C++:

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (tryall_dlopen): Rename the try variable to
        attempt, and cast explicitly.
        (advise_dup): Add explicit cast.

2007-06-22  Peter O'Gorman  <peter@pogma.com>

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (version-number) [irix]: Don't subtract
        1 from major as it may be less than age.

2007-06-21  Noah Misch  <noah@cs.caltech.edu>

        * tests/f77demo/configure.ac [--with-dist]: New option.  Skip most
        Fortran checks when given.
        * tests/fcdemo/configure.ac [--with-dist]: Likewise.
        * Makefile.am (@DIST_MAKEFILE_LIST@): Pass --with-dist.

2007-06-18  Charles Wilson  <libtool@cwilson.fastmail.fm>

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh: Add new magic variable
        for use with cwrapper.
        (func_ltwrapper_script_p): New function.
        (func_ltwrapper_executable_p): New function.
        (func_ltwrapper_scriptname): New function.
        (func_ltwrapper_p): Accomodate both wrapper scripts and
        wrapper executables.
        (func_mode_execute): Handle $file that is a wrapper
        script and $file that is a wrapper executable differently.
        (func_mode_install) [cygwin|mingw]: If $file is a wrapper
        executable, use func_ltwrapper_scriptname to determine
        wrapper script name. Afterwards, always use
        func_ltwrapper_script_p instead of func_ltwrapper_p.
        (func_emit_libtool_wrapper_script): Rename to...
        (func_emit_wrapper): ...this. All callers changed.
        (func_emit_libtool_cwrapperexe_source): Rename to...
        (func_emit_cwrapperexe_src): ...this. All callers changed.
        Embed new magic_exe variable into source. Private transient
        wrapper script now called foo_ltshwrapperTMP, not
        foo_ltshwrapper.
        (func_emit_cwrapperexe_src) [main, mingw]: Use _spawnv
        and return child's exit code manually rather than rely on
        broken execv.
        (func_mode_link) [cygwin|mingw]: Don't call dirname and
        basename directly; use func_dirname and func_basename
        when computing cwrapper names.  Use cwrapper to generate
        wrapper script, and use pathname returned by
        func_ltwrapper_scriptname instead of $output.
        (func_mode_link) [NOT cygwin|mingw]: move wrapper script
        generation for non-win32 inside case statement, as default
        case.
        (func_mode_uninstall) [$name's extension != .lo|.la]:

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_emit_libtool_wrapper_script):
        add code block to handle cases when wrapper script is in $objdir.
        (func_emit_libtool_cwrapperexe_source): replace DEBUG() macro

2007-05-08  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        Without this patch, lt_dlopen always opens modules with symbol
        visibility set according to the underlying implementation.
        Here, we add lt_dlopenadvise() to allow callers to request,
        among other things, local or global symbol visibility from the
        underlying dlloader:

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (LT_DLRESIDENT_FLAG): Removed.
        (LT_DLIS_RESIDENT): Use public is_resident info field.
        (LT_DLIS_SYMLOCAL, LT_DLIS_SYMGLOBAL): New macros to test for
        module symbol visibility status.
        (tryall_dlopen): If vtable->module_open() was able to act on
        either is_symlocal or is_symglobal hints, store that in
        the handle flags.
        (lt_dlopenadvise): New function that works like lt_dlopen(),
        but accepts an advise type to determine whether to ask
        dlloaders to change default symbol visibility.
        (lt_dlopen, lt_dlopenext): Just call lt_dlopenadvise() with
        the correct parameters.
        (lt_dladvise_init, lt_dladvise_destroy): New functions to
        initialize and destroy an advise type hint.
        (lt_dladvise_ext, lt_dladvise_resident, lt_dladvise_local)
        (lt_dladvise_global): Set hints on an advise type.
        (openadvise): Factored out of lt_dlopenadvise.
        (has_library_ext): Factored out of lt_dlopenadvise.
        * libltdl/ltdl.h: Declare all of the above.
        (lt_dlinfo): New fields for advise hints.
        * libltdl/libltdl/lt_dlloader.h (lt_module_open): Add a new
        advise parameter.  Adjust all callers.
        (lt_dladvise): New opaque type for advise hints.
        * libltdl/libltdl/lt__private.h (lt__advise): Declare
        contents of opaque lt_dladvise type.
        * libltdl/libltdl/lt_error.h (CONFLICTING_FLAGS): New error
        for attempts to have local and global symbol visibility at the
        same time.
        * libltdl/loaders/dld_link.c, libltdl/loaders/dyld.c,
        libltdl/loaders/load_add_on.c, libltdl/loaders/loadlibrary.c,
        libltdl/loaders/preopen.c, libltdl/loaders/shl_load.c: Adjust.
        * libltdl/loaders/dlopen.c (RTLD_LOCAL, RTLD_GLOBAL): Try to
        define these symbols if the system has equivalents.
        (vmopen): If unable to act on a caller request to set symbol
        visibility, then unset the relevant hints in the advise type.
        * tests/lt_dladvise.at: New tests for the above.
        * doc/libtool.texi (Libltdl Interface): Updated.
        * NEWS: Updated.

        ($(srcdir)/$(auxdir)/ltmain.sh): Updated to not depend on any
        phony rules.  Test `$?' for prerequisites that should always
        cause us to update the target.  Fixes rebuilding rules, at the
        cost of sometimes updating too much with non-GNU make.

        in same mechanism system argz.h would have.
        * libltdl/libltdl/lt__glibc.h: also detect if
        SYSTEM_ARGZ_IS_BROKEN when determining whether to re#def
        argz* functions.
        * libltdl/m4/argz.m4 (gl_FUNC_ARGZ): add new test to check
        if $host's argz facilities are known bad.  Err on the side

        * tests/shlibpath.at: Add `libtool' keyword.

        * tests/indirect_deps.at: New file, with tests to ensure
        `link_all_deplibs=no' does not break functionality.

        for (hopefully) better clarity.

2007-03-26  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        The stamp-vcl file rules caused non-gnu make programs to rerun
        parts of the configuration process on each invocation.  Instead
        of relying on a stamp file, we now compare version numbers of
        generated files with the ChangeLog timestamp manually in the
        affected make rules to decide whether regenerating is necessary:

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove stamp-vcl.
        (clean-ltmain-sh): Also remove users' obsolescent stamp-vcl.
        (rebuild): Keep some common code here for...
        (libtool, libltdl/m4/ltversion.m4, libltdl/config/ltmain.sh):
        Rewritten to work without reference to intermediate stamp-vcl
        file.
        * configure.ac (CONFIG_STATUS_DEPENDENCIES): Change from
        stamp-vcl to ChangeLog.
        * NEWS: Removed entry saying this fix is needed.

2007-03-19  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.m4sh: Handle argz.m4 specially like ltdl.m4, so
        that it isn't copied unless libltdl is being used.  Copy other
        macro files according to their tagged serial numbers.
        * tests/libtoolize.at: Adjust.

2007-03-18  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/mdemo/Makefile.am (libmlib_la_LDFLAGS): Add
        `-export-symbols-regex ".*"' because the convenience libltdl
        uses export markers and thus turns off autoexport on w32.  Fixes
        test failures for Cygwin and MinGW.
        Bug analysis by Charles Wilson.

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER)
        (_LT_CHECK_MAGIC_METHOD, _LT_COMPILER_PIC, _LT_LINKER_SHLIBS)
        (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG, _LT_SYS_HIDDEN_LIBDEPS) [ interix ]: When
        matching for interix, accept version range [3-9] instead of 3.
        * NEWS: Update.
        Report by Martin Koeppe <mkoeppe@gmx.de>.

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (LT_PROG_GCJ): Avoid M4 expansion error
        that caused `dnl' to be merged to the previous word.
        * THANKS: Update.
        Report by Steve Ellcey.

2007-03-09  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.m4sh: Replace literal tab chars in help comment
        with spaces to align columns in --help output.

2007-03-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Also apply the
        symbol filtering for w32 and the include_expsyms feature in the
        case of exceeded command line length.  Fixes test failure on
        MinGW.

        * tests/stresstest.at: For const data object imported from
        shared library, define appropriate macros to expand
        __declspec(dllimport) on w32.  Use two different main objects
        and pick the right one for the link flags we are about to test.
        Fixes test failure on MinGW.

        * tests/export.at: For const data object imported from shared
        library, define appropriate macros to expand
        __declspec(dllimport) on w32.  Fixes test failure on MinGW.

2007-03-05  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * libtoolize.m4sh (func_check_macros): Display m4 quotes correctly
        in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR diagnostics.

        * libltdl/config/general.m4sh (M4SH_VERBATIM): New macro to
        simplify m4sh quote quoting in blocks of raw shell code.
        * clcommit.m4sh, libtoolize.m4sh, libltdl/config/getopt.m4sh,
        libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh, libltdl/config/mailnotify.m4sh,
        tests/defs.m4sh: Use it.
        * HACKING (Editing `.m4sh' Files): Mention M4SH_VERBATIM Macro.

2007-02-27  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/lt_dlexit.at: Allow test to pass on static-only systems
        and with disable-shared.

        * NEWS: Rewrite all news since 1.9f and put in categories,
        update.

        * libltdl/Makefile.inc: Fix the file description, so that it
        matches recursive and nonrecursive libltdl setup.
        * Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/libltdl/Makefile.am): Do not depend
        upon the exact text of the copyright header, just copy until
        the marker line.  Remove the marker lines in the output, and
        adjust the description for subpackage setup.

2007-02-26  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/libltdl/Makefile.am): Fix regexp typo.

        * clcommit.m4sh: Look in the right directory for helper scripts.

2007-02-25  Gary V. Vaughan  <gary@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/libltdl/Makefile.am): Fixup regex to
        match Copyright notice change below.

        * HACKING, Makefile.am, Makefile.maint, bootstrap,
        libltdl/Makefile.am, libltdl/Makefile.inc, libltdl/m4/libtool.m4,

2007-02-25  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/static.at: Forgot to fix PATH for the first
        func_test_exec invocation.  So factor out into new functions
        func_fix_path and func_restore_path and use those.

        * README: Document the need for GNU make to build Libtool.
        Point the user to the doc/notes.txt file.  In the examples, use
        `gmake' throughout to make it more obvious.  Explain simpler way
        to run both testsuites and either one.  Referring to individual
        tests needs the `tests/' prefix.
        * README.alpha: Likewise.
        * doc/notes.texi: Likewise, document need for GNU make.
        Comment out the FreeBSD make issue for now.

        * tests/static.at: Larger rewrite to make work on w32: Use three
        different prefixes instead of three libdirs, so the moving of
        the DLLs works as expected.  Adjust all code.  Since now
        $libdirI/../bin is distinct from the directory of the installed
        program, take care than on w32 PATH contains the needed bindirs,
        in appropriate order.
        Report by Charles Wilson.

        * Makefile.am (INSTALLCHECK_ENVIRONMENT): Point LTDLINCL and
        LIBLTDL to installed libltdl, so that it is being used by
        the lt_dlexit test.

2007-02-24  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * doc/libtool.texi (Install mode, libtool script contents):
        Describe current and system-specific DESTDIR limitations.
        * tests/destdir.at: XFAIL if `fast_install' is no.

        * doc/libtool.texi (LT_INIT): Fix typo.

        * doc/libtool.texi (Libtool test suite): Mention the new
        testsuite.  Point to README rather than INSTALL for testing
        instructions.
        (Test descriptions): Fix more file names.  Also mention
        cdemo-undef.test, mdemo2-conf.test, mdemo2-exec.test,
        mdemo2-make.test, objectlist.test, pdemo-conf.test,
        pdemo-exec.test, pdemo-inst.test, pdemo-make.test,
        tagdemo-conf.test, tagdemo-exec.test, tagdemo-make.test,
        tagdemo-static.test, tagdemo-shared.test, tagdemo-undef.test,
        f77demo-conf.test, f77demo-exec.test, f77demo-make.test,
        f77demo-static.test, f77demo-shared.test, fcdemo-conf.test,
        fcdemo-exec.test, fcdemo-make.test, fcdemo-static.test,
        fcdemo-shared.test.  Describe what they do.
        (When tests fail, Troubleshooting): Mention how to pass options
        to the new test suite.
        * tests/tagdemo/README: Fix description.

        * bootstrap: Also set GREP, FGREP, EGREP, LN_S, when creating a
        preliminary ltmain.sh script.

        * doc/libtool.texi (Test descriptions): Track the grand test
        suite renaming from 2003-10-14 in the tests documentation.
        assign.test is merged into sh.test.  Fix description of sh.test.
        * tests/sh.test: Likewise.

        * doc/libtool.texi (LT_INIT): Fix wording of intro a bit.
        <shared, static>: Also describe these default LT_INIT options.
        <AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN, AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL>
        <AC_DISABLE_FAST_INSTALL>: Mention deprecated macro names,
        including the respective LT_INIT replacement.
        <AC_DISABLE_SHARED, AC_DISABLE_STATIC, AC_ENABLE_SHARED>
        <AC_ENABLE_STATIC>: Document, un-deprecate.  Suggest the
        respective LT_INIT replacement.
        <AM_DISABLE_SHARED, AM_DISABLE_STATIC, AM_ENABLE_SHARED>
        <AM_ENABLE_STATIC>: Document deprecated aliases.
        (Distributing libltdl) <AC_WITH_LTDL, AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE>
        <AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE>: Document deprecated aliases.
        * libltdl/m4/ltoptions.m4 (AM_ENABLE_SHARED, AM_DISABLE_SHARED)
        (AM_ENABLE_STATIC, AM_DISABLE_STATIC): Make these AU_ALIASes of
        the respective AC_* macros, so we do not recommend LT_INIT(*) in
        this case.
        (AC_ENABLE_SHARED, AC_DISABLE_SHARED, AC_ENABLE_STATIC)
        (AC_DISABLE_STATIC): Un-deprecate these.  Remove now-superfluous
        aclocal-1.4 backwards compatibility comments.

        * tests/link-order2.at: Rewrite completely.  Do not use `sin'
        from the math library, there are too many problems with this.
        Instead, use a self-written library, install it without the
        Libtool library file, to emulate a native library in a system
        directory, and adjust $shlibpat_var.  Try overriding its symbol.
        Further, also try an installed `wrong' binary.
        Avoid failing test bits on AIX without runtimelinking and on
        Darwin in some cases, SKIP at the end in this case.
        Analysis by Peter O'Gorman.

        * doc/notes.texi: Mention MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET issue.
        * tests/template.at: Only skip those tests failing on Darwin
        if `-flat_namespace' is used by libtool.  In that case, SKIP
        at the end.  Analysis by Peter O'Gorman.

2007-02-23  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Fix -export-symbols and -export-symbols-regex for links that
        exceed the command line length and use convenience archives.

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Avoid grepping a
        nonexistent file if using reloadable objects.  Do not create a
        linker script nor a linker input file if no objects are passed.
        Apply export_symbols_regex in case the command line length is
        exceeded.
        Report by Bob Friesenhahn.

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS)
        <compiler_needs_object>: New tag variable.  Default to `no'.
        (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [ linux ]: Set it to yes for Sun C 5.9.
        (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG): Also default it to `no'.
        [ linux ]: Set it to `yes' for Sun C++ 5.9.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): If we link
        no objects but only convenience archives into a library,
        force expansion if `compiler_needs_object' is yes.
        For creating a linker input filelist due to long cmdline,
        extract the first object if `compiler_needs_object' is yes.
        * doc/libtool.texi (libtool script contents): Document it.
        Fixes test failures of Sun compilers on GNU/Linux.
        Report by Terry D. Dontje.

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Avoid setting
        `$libobjs' to a single space; set it to empty in that case.

2007-02-23  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_generate_dlsyms) [ osf5 ]:
        On Tru64 5.1, const relocations do not work well.  Omit the
        const here.  Fixes failure of demo-make after demo-shared with
        link editor error `seg_info_ptr: Couldnt find a seg type 2'.

        * Makefile.am (doc_libtool_TEXINFOS): Renamed from...
        (libtool_TEXINFOS): ...this, to fix dependencies.  Omit from
        EXTRA_DIST.
        (check-local): Also depend upon $(bin_SCRIPTS).

2007-02-23  Ralf Menzel  <menzel@ls6.cs.uni-dortmund.de>  (tiny change)

        * libltdl/config/general.m4sh (sed_double_backslash): Fix
        hacky sed script to avoid limitations but retain portability to
        Solaris /bin/sed.  Remove old obsolete cruft.

2007-02-22  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Fix the check for
        convenience archives when warning about linking against static
        libraries: test against $deplib rather than empty $lib.

2007-02-19  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/m4/ltdl.m4 (LT_WITH_LTDL): Fix detection of new enough
        libltdl by actually checking for the declaration of
        lt_dlinterface_register in ltdl.h with AC_CHECK_DECL.
        Remove redundant configure output line.

        * tests/template.at: Reformat, add M4 quoting.  Use $LDFLAGS
        consistently for link mode.

2007-02-18  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/static.at: Use the right names for the broken libs.

2007-02-17  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/deplibs-ident.at [aix, hppa*-*-hpux*, interix, openbsd]:
        Do not XFAIL, on these systems we happen to pass.
        * tests/duplicate_deps.at [aix]: Likewise.

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER) [ linux |

        <whole_archive_flag_spec>: For Sun C/C++ 5.9, do not add
        /dev/null as dummy object, it fails with GNU ld version
        2.16.91.0.7-amd-sles9.  Report by Terry D. Dontje.
        * THANKS: Update.

2007-02-14  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [ osf4, osf5 ]
        <archive_expsym_cmds>: Use `${wl}-input' not `-input', for
        cc.  Could use `-input_to_ld'.
        (_LT_LANG_CXX_CONFIG) [ osf4, osf5 ] <archive_expsym_cmds>:
        Use `${wl}' instead of `-Wl,', for consistency.

2007-02-12  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Fix spurious testsuite failures on AIX due on NFS mounts due to
        shared library images that cannot be removed without `slibclean'
        which needs superuser privileges.

        * tests/testsuite.at (PREPARE_TESTS): Define $mkdir_p globally.
        (LT_AT_MVDIR): New macro to emulate `mv dir dest'.
        * tests/destdir.at: Use LT_AT_MVDIR.
        * tests/shlibpath.at: Likewise.
        * tests/static.at: Likewise.

        * tests/export.at: Exporting is not fully functional with
        -retain-symbols-file.  Do not test for failure to link `broken'
        in this case.  At the end of the test, SKIP if we are not fully
        functional.

        * tests/lt_dlexit.at: Add casts and `extern "C"' to let the test
        pass with a C++ compiler.

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh: Remove duplicate marker for
        generated shell functions.

        * tests/testsuite.at (LT_AT_NOINST_EXEC_CHECK): New macro, like
        LT_AT_EXEC_CHECK but uses `$LIBTOOL --mode=execute' and allows
        to pass `-dlopen MODULE' arguments.
        * tests/lt_dlexit.at: Use it.  Also, do not test `-dlpreopen',
        that currently needs library names to begin with `lib'.

2007-02-11  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/export.at: New test: expose -export-symbols failure
        when the input consists solely of convenience archives, and
        failure to not export all symbols when the command line length
        is exceeded.
        * Makefile.am: Adjust.

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_XSI_SHELLFNS): New substituted
        function `func_lo2o', saving two fork&exec with XSI shells.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_compile)
        (func_mode_install, func_mode_link): Use it for rewrites of
        single files.

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_XSI_SHELLFNS): New function
        func_opt_split, for XSI and portable shell.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh: Move the insertion point for the
        configure-generated shell functions to before the first option
        parsing loop.  Rewrite the separation of the long options to use
        func_opt_split.

2007-02-11  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Eliminate roughly a third of the script execution time overhead
        for all modes except for link/relink and uninstall/clean.

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_CONFIG): Remove unused `TEST SUITE
        MARKER', obsolete since 2005-04-17.
        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh: Likewise, several instances.
        (Main): Tear apart, moving individual bits up as early in the
        script as possible, to help the shell to avoid parsing the rest.

2007-02-11  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * doc/libtool.texi: Update copyright years.

        * libltdl/config/general.m4sh (sed_double_backslash): Replace
        POSIX sed script with a hack that treats up to 10 backslashes
        in the input correctly and is portable to Solaris /bin/sed.

2007-02-08  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/testsuite.at (LT_AT_TAG): Skip also if the compiler
        variable is set to `no', not only if it is empty.

2007-02-06  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * tests/lt_dlexit.at: Do not compile main object with libtool.

        * tests/lt_dlexit.at: Use $abs_top_srcdir, not $top_srcdir,
        in the new testsuite.

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [ gnu ]
        <archive_expsym_cmds>: Behave like Linux, so that
        --version-script is used for Hurd as well.

2007-01-28  Charles Wilson  <libtool@cwilson.fastmail.fm>

        * NEWS: Update for Cygwin changes.

2007-01-28  Brian W. Barrett <bbarrett@lanl.gov>

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh [darwin]: Use otool64 if otool fails.

            Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlexit): Make sure that 'cur' is not NULL
        before checking that it is still in the list.
        * tests/lt_dlexit.at: New test.
        * Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Adjust.
        (check-local): Also depend on libltdl/libltdlc.la.
        (check-recursive): Removed, unnecessary use of Automake
        internals.

2007-01-28  Mike Frysinger  <vapier@gentoo.org>

        * libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh (func_mode_link): Pass through
        `-p' and `-fprofile-*' for GCC.

2007-01-28  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        * libltdl/libltdl/lt_system.h: Adjust copyright years.

        * libltdl/libltdl/lt__private.h (LT_GLOBAL_DATA) [__CYGWIN__]:
        Also define on Cygwin.
        * libltdl/libltdl/lt_system.h (LT_SCOPE) [__CYGWIN__]: Likewise.

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [ cygwin, mingw ]
        <export_symbols_cmds>: Avoid shell expansion of '/s/.*' through
        double expansion, in case there is a 'S:' drive.
        Report by Charles Wilson.

2007-01-28  Ralf Wildenhues  <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>

        Introduce a new test keyword `recursive' for tests that create a
        modified `libtool' script and run the suite on this script.  All
        tests with the keyword `libtool' are (by definition) suitable to
        be used here.

        * tests/cmdline_wrap.at: New test.
        * Makefile.am: Adjust.
        * tests/testsuite.at (LT_ESCAPE): New macro: clone of Autoconf
        AS_ESCAPE that does not escape `$'.
        (LT_AT_CHECK): New macro: print a command-to-be-run while
        expanding parameters but nothing else.
        * tests/stresstest.at: Use LT_AT_CHECK.  Create some files to
        expose erroneous globbing errors with `-export-symbols-regex',
        similar to those reported by Charles Wilson.  Use `eval' and
        adjusted quoting so the expansion doesn't already happen in the
        testsuite commands.
        * HACKING: Update.

        * libltdl/m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS) [cygwin, mingw]:
        Use `lib -OUT' rather than `lib /OUT' to avoid MSYS path
        translation mangling.  Report by Christopher Hulbert.
        * THANKS: Update.
