These libtool changes worry me a little: - freebsd3*) + freebsd[34]*) .. because in 12 months we are going to be in the same boat with freebsd5 and again with freebsd6 etc. Keep in mind the elevated versioning scheme.. ie: instead of 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2, 3.0.3, ... 3.1 we are going like this: 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, ... 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, .. 5.0, 5.1 etc. The changes should be along these lines: freebsd1*) # don't bother with shared libs for freebsd 1.x noshared... freebsd2*) # a.out tools. ld -Bshareable ... freebsd*) # everything from 3.0 onwards gcc -shared ...
