As far as I can tell, upstream libtool hasn't changed its sysroot support since that patch went in. I wasn't even aware of the issue.. How did the gcc project get to the place where we aren't following our own rules http://gcc.gnu.org/codingconventions.html regarding libtool? We're supposed to get a patch reviewed upstream, applied, then import the whole lot. From the top-level ChangeLog, that hasn't happened since 2009-12-05! It must be a little disheartening to be a libtool maintainer, when a major GNU project like gcc treats your work like this. -- Alan Modra Australia Development Lab, IBM
