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

# The output of the script.  This string is built up as we process the
# arguments.

        # think these options are linker options, and prefix them
        # with "-Wl,".  Then, the compiler driver will ignore the
        # options.  So, we prefix these options with -Xcompiler to
        # make clear to libtool that they are in fact compiler
        # options.

    #   1) a

    # We must ensure, therefore, that the arguments are appropriately
    # quoted so that using:
    #   libtool --mode=link ... $(LTLDFLAGS)
    # will result in the same number of arguments being passed to
    # libtool.   In other words, when this script was invoked, the shell

    # it back.
