Re: Fwd: Fwd: android support

Hello, Marco,

Thanks for pinging this -- I'm trying to work through some of the 
libtool patch backlog, and I'll have a look at this in the next few days.

I note that David Turner also posted a patch for Android support in 
libtool more recently:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2013-06/msg00002.html

The patches are fairly similar, although I think the organization of 
David's patch (which keeps the "Android" and "glibc/ELF" blocks entirely 
separate) is a bit better since Android is not glibc-based.

The one key difference here is that your patch uses $libname$shared_ext 
for library_names_spec and soname_spec, whereas David's uses 
$libname$release$shared_ext.  Is there a particular argument in favor of 
one or the other of these?
