24 # This script is designed to be used from a Makefile that uses libtool
25 # to build libraries as follows:
27 # LTLDFLAGS = $(shell libtool-ldflags $(LDFLAGS))
29 # Then, use (LTLDFLAGS) in place of $(LDFLAGS) in your link line.
31 # The output of the script. This string is built up as we process the
32 # arguments.

40 # Libtool does not ascribe any special meaning options
41 # that begin with -f or with a double-dash. So, it will
42 # think these options are linker options, and prefix them
43 # with "-Wl,". Then, the compiler driver will ignore the
44 # options. So, we prefix these options with -Xcompiler to
45 # make clear to libtool that they are in fact compiler
46 # options.

63 # If $(LDFLAGS) is (say):

68 # 1) a

74 # will result in the same number of arguments being passed to
75 # libtool. In other words, when this script was invoked, the shell

77 # it back.
