Subject: libtool: improve comments for _LT_ENABLE_LOCK implementation.
X-Git-Tag: v2.4.2.418~37
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5151a7a167ef9c4afc259a843f1aa39063d36f91;p=thirdparty%2Flibtool.git

libtool: improve comments for _LT_ENABLE_LOCK implementation.

* m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_ENABLE_LOCK): enhance comments to explain
why the code looks odd with 32bit flags in the 64bit section and
vice versa.
