Hi
This isn't exactly topic here, but it might be useful as a little hint
or warning...
Even most recent versions of libtool (1.2e imho) fail to check for
freebsd4* (as expected). As a result, they set can_build_shared to "no"
which disables building of shared libraries.
This affects most major projects like kde or gnome and can result in
major abuse of disk- and memory space :) (some kde or gnome binaries
tend to get *very* large when linked statically).
Workarounds ?
I'am currently using --host=i386-unknown-freebsd3 as a possible
workaround, another way might be a small modification of ltconfig.
Sorry, if this has been already mentioned...
