That's an invariant that libtool's relinking breaks, and that atomic operation would restore. Another possibility would be to force libtool to relink at linking time, i.e. keep the fast install, but do the relinking even before the program is invoked (and the wrapper script installed). But I assume it is a mess? Paolo -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35752
