24# This script is designed to be used from a Makefile that uses libtool
25# to build libraries as follows:
26#
27# LTLDFLAGS = $(shell libtool-ldflags $(LDFLAGS))
28#
29# Then, use (LTLDFLAGS) in place of $(LDFLAGS) in your link line.

44 # make clear to libtool that they are in fact compiler
45 # options.
