glib has a configure test to check whether RTLD_GLOBAL is broken on OSF1. This involves building a plugin using libtool and then essentially AC_RUN_IFELSE on a piece of code which loads said plugin. This is all fine, and works. I was just wondering if there was a way of doing this without invoking libtool, as configure should "know" everything libtool does as it created libtool. (a bit of a theoretical question...) Cheers, Patrick _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
