the -version-info especially when major and minor are zero, as libtool
will otherwise strip off the shared library version.
- The "-release" option has been disabled in the pkgsrc version of libtool
- as it creates unnecessary differences between ELF and a.out platforms.
+ The "-release" option will produce different results for a.out and ELF
+ (excluding symlinks) in only one case. An ELF library of the form
+ libfoo-release.so.x.y will have a symlink of libfoo.so.x.y on an a.out
+ platform. This will be handled automatically soon.
The -rpath argument is the install directory of the library being built.
