[Charlie S. <cf...@in...>]

Hi Ralf,

Thanks for the reply.  Currently I'm running this version of libtool:

libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.22 (1.1220.2.365 2005/12/18 22:14:06)

So its quite recent.

Also, I'm not sure I follow how updating libtool can help work around 
the ld bug (well I suppose its really a bfd bug).  Would this result 
from libtool sending ld different command line parameters or some such 
thing?

Thanks,

Charlie
