you wondered why no one has reported/noticed hits before. i gave you an explanation. what you're doing is unusual, and so far, i haven't seen an explanation as to why you're doing something unusual. so the (implicit) question still stands: why are you using Automake's archive (ar-lib) logic when libtool already provides support for doing the same thing -- creating static archives. should we fix it ? probably. is it worth the effort ? maybe not. would we accept patches from someone who wants to spend the time ? depends on the patch. -mike
