Making that change does not appear to change anything. I still get: ar cru libgnu.a allocsa.o getdate.o xalloc-die.o mktime.o exitfail.o getdate.o gettime.o xmalloc.o However, it seems arguable correct (right?), so I propose to install the patch below in gnulib-tool. Ok? /Simon --- gnulib-tool 12 Sep 2006 17:37:41 +0200 1.159 +++ gnulib-tool 13 Sep 2006 15:50:00 +0200 @@ -1098,7 +1098,7 @@ fi echo echo "${libname}_${libext}_SOURCES =" - echo "${libname}_${libext}_LIBADD = @${perhapsLT}LIBOBJS@" + echo "${libname}_${libext}_LIBADD = \$(${perhapsLT}LIBOBJS)" if test "$libtool" = true; then echo "${libname}_${libext}_LDFLAGS = \$(AM_LDFLAGS)" fi
