Please try to avoid @zino.
No problem. Wasn't me that brought it into the recipient list.
Which other aliases exist, so I don't have to second-guess my MUA settings -- thanks.
The one I'm sending this email to.
Your To: has cln-list@ginac.de, your Reply-To: has both Richard.Kreckel@ginac.de and cln-list@thep.physik.uni-mainz.de by the time it reaches me. Even not considering the problem whether reply-to munging or putting the list name in reply-to is useful or harmful at all -- there are always four addresses involved (Your From: is kreckel@ginac.de, different again :) If the reply-to is added by the ML software, maybe you could adjust it to point to cln-list@ginac.de as well? It's not a big deal at all, I just thought I'd mention it.
If your link line turns out to be longer than that maximum length estimate, libtool _will_ split the link by using `ld -r', possibly more than once. It's one portable way around that restriction. On some systems, convenience archives could help, too.
Ralf, "possibly more than once" is not exactly hinting at 855 times, which is what happened to me then.
Uh, oh. Well, good thing that bug's gone. (It should've done so a couple of times, like 2 or 3..)
But anyway, I realize it's not happening any more, so there is nothing to fix and I'm happy to do the upgrade...
...which I just did! :-)
Great, thanks.

And as to the modifications in CLN's libtool, there appears to be only one patch for the Comeau compiler: *snip* Weird enough, I have not found this option to be described in Comeau's online documentation. For whoever has Comeau: it'd be really nice if they ran the whole Libtool testsuite (preferably branch-2-0) on it, I'm sure there are more issues to sort out. Libtool supporting more compilers better is always a good thing.
Maybe you want to contact Roberto Bagnara?
Will do so. Thanks, Ralf
