  Uh, no, not sure what you're referring to; got a reference?  Hmm, I see an
"OBJDUMP=objdump" definition near the top of usr/bin/libtool.  I /thought/ I'd
been using uptodate libtool to build gcc packages (I do that on my home PC and
I'm at work now so can't check), but I guess I can infer that I must not have
been after all; I'm absolutely certain the only problem I had was no
definition of objdump (the symptoms are immediately distinguishable when you
see the output running under "bash -x".)

  Another thought occurs: does that work for cross-compilation?

  This would only apply to w32api files, yes?

  Well that certainly is a problem with lib-link.m4.  Perhaps libtool should
mark sys_lib_search_path_spec read-only?  Or would that just cause a failure
later down the line?

  Ok, now I've got one for you :-)  Got any idea why libtool isn't including
the typeinfo from my shared libstdc++ when it generates the import library?
(If you do have any insight into this area, we should probably start a
separate thread.)

    cheers,
