Seriously, why is a wrapper for the compiler/linker required AT ALL if the calls to these tools are made from _generated_ files ? The generated files should just contain the appropriate calls for the respective commands. This layer of abstraction is unnecessary and IMO just adds confusion. (modifying libtool so that it calls unitool even seems to add yet another layer which can potentially break or bitrot etc.) Alex -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
