Huh? There's OSF, HP-UX, and AIX, all of which I still deal with.
Most of the complexity in libtool (and autotools in general) is to
support systems that simply are not worth supporting and that
practically speaking don't exist anymore. I'm being slightly flip in
saying 'gcc -shared' but really not by much. Honestly for any fringe
platform the correct thing to do is port gcc/binutils/gmake first.
Porting gmake is easy, porting binutils/gcc is hard and not likely to
work with the system libraries. And people sometimes use other compilers
(e.g. icc) even when gcc is available.
