Passing --no-warnings to libtool would not suppress warning messages.
* build-aux/ltmain.in: Add 'opt_warning' check before printing out
warning messages.
* tests/libtool.at: Add simple test for '--no-warnings'.
* NEWS: Update.
A space after '-Fe' treats a file name as an input file instead of
as the intended output file.
* m4/libtool.m4: Remove space after '-Fe'.
* NO-THANKS: Add Kirill Makurin for bug report 74175.
* NEWS: Update.
Add option to reorder the shared library cache in OpenBSD so that user
preferred directories for shared libraries can be used when linking
before directories previously listed in the shared library cache.
This allows for users in OpenBSD to easily switch between versions of
libraries with the same name during testing.
* NEWS: Update for new (OpenBSD) option.
* build-aux/ltmain.in: Add option --reorder-cache=DIRS.
* doc/libtool.texi: Update documentation for new option.
* test/bug_71489.at: Alter test for OpenBSD to utilize new option.
On OpenBSD 7.5, the shared library cache is updated with finish_cmds,
which causes the test for 'Use local version' to fail. Simply, installed
versions of shared libraries take precedence over those locally built.
To ensure local versions of shared libraries can be tested properly and
more easily, additional options have been added to libtool to skip
executing finish_cmds, like 'ldconfig -m $libdir' in OpenBSD.
* build-aux/ltmain.in: Add libtool option, '--no-finish.
* doc/libtool.texi: Document new option in libtool.
* NEWS: Update.
The GCC/binutils tools support response files just fine, while
lld (impersonating GNU ld) only supports response files, not
linker scripts. Using a linker script as input just to pass a
list of files is overkill for cases when a response file is enough.
* build-aux/ltmain.in: Move creation of ld script.
* m4/libtool.m4: Add new variable tag for file_list_spec.
* NEWS: Update.
A command like:
libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c gck-roots-store-standalone.la
'/image/usr/lib/gnome-keyring/standalone/'
where the path ends with a trailing slash currently fails. This occurs in
software like gnome-keyring or pulseaudio and is because the comparision
code doesn't see the paths as equal. Strip both paths to ensure this works
reliably.
* build-aux/ltmain.in: Strip trailing slashes on install commands.
* NEWS: Update.
If `multilib` is unset (which it apparently is by default), the output
from running a `configure` script contains lines like the following:
```
checking dynamic linker characteristics... ../configure: line 26791: test: yes: unary operator expected
Win32 ld.exe
```
The additional output is not a fatal error. But it could be irritating.
Avoid the unexpected output from `test` by making sure `=` is used as a
binary operator.
* m4/libtool.m4: Prepend "x" on both sides of a comparison with `test`
and the operator `=`.
* NEWS: Update for bug fix.

This fixes bug introduced by 0e1b333324.
* build-aux/ltmain.in: Don't omit paths that are not under $progdir
from the compiled_rpath. Append them to the end of it.
* NEWS: Update for bug fix.
The variable, LT_ARGZ_H, can be empty, which causes distclean and
maintainer-clean to error as a directory is attempted to be removed
instead of a file.
When running maintainer-clean for gnulib-tests, the .version file is
missing, which is needed by config.status, so the command will error.
* configure.ac: Update CONFIG_STATUS_DEPENDENCIES to use dotversion so
that the .version file can be generated if needed.
* libltdl/ltdl.mk: Add conditional with LTARGZH_EXISTS to append path for
LT_ARGZ_H file to BUILT_SOURCES.
* m4/ltdl.m4: Add AM_CONDITIONAL for LTARGZH_EXISTS that is set to
true if LT_ARGZ_H is non-empty.
* NO-THANKS: Add 'Michael Pratt' for bug#73672 contribution.
* NEWS: List additional bug fix.
'-single_module' detection is broken with Xcode 15, where a message to
stderr indicates the flag is deprecated, not unsupported.
* m4/libtool.m4: Check macOS versions to see if '-single_module' flag is
unnecessary.
Five tests use aclocal, but do not have a check for whether aclocal is
available to use. This causes reported tests failures in Linux From
Scratch and Darwin builds.
* tests/standalone.at: Add AT_XFAIL_IF check for aclocal for all tests.
* tests/subproject.at: Add AT_XFAIL_IF check for aclocal for last test.

* doc/libtool.texi (LT_INIT): Talk about --enable-aix-soname instead of --with-aix-soname.
* m4/ltoptions.m4 (_LT_WITH_AIX_SONAME): Use AC_ARG_ENABLE instead of
AC_ARG_WITH. In the default case, use _AC_ENABLE_IF, in order to still
recognize the old option --with-aix-soname.

Reported at <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?110674>.

--with-pic, and about --disable-pic instead of --without-pic.
(Test descriptions): Likewise.
* m4/ltoptions.m4 (_LT_WITH_PIC): Use AC_ARG_ENABLE instead of
AC_ARG_WITH. In the default case, use _AC_ENABLE_IF, in order to still
recognize the old options --with-pic and --without-pic.
* tests/demo.at: Add a test for --enable-pic, keeping the test for
--with-pic. Test '--disable-pic' instead of '--with-pic=no'.

A logical continuation of Automake commit
c40e27e1c2a60f58e72e65d73d808f782d55494a to provide
Windows ICC support similar as already done for MSVC.
Resolves bug 26484.
* m4/libtool.m4: Treat icl.exe equivalently to cl.exe.
Copyright-paperwork-exempt: Yes
* NEWS: Remove the leading white-spaces before Copyright line
because it breaks the perl regexp in sc_immutable_NEWS rule.
* cfg.mk (old_NEWS_hash): Adjust to correct previous hash as the
old NEWS entries were not actually touched.
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add gnulib-tests.
(EXTRA_DIST): Distribute also update-copyright script. This does
not happen automatically because we manually remove ./lib
directory created by gnulib-tool. Not having the file distributed
causes 'make check' failure, however.
(dotversion): Fix to point to $(top_srcdir).
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_tool_options): Add gnulib-tool args
needed to successfully install gnulib's tests.
* configure.ac (CONFIG_STATUS_DEPENDENCIES): Look for .version in
$(top_srcdir).
* gnulib: Sync with upstream.
* build-aux/.gitignore: Ignore ar-lib coming from automake.
In some GNU/Linux distributions people started to compile 'ar'
binary with --enable-deterministic-archives (binutils project).
That, however, in combination with our previous long time working
default AR_FLAGS=cru causes warnings on such installations:
ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default (see `U')
The 'u' option (at least with GNU binutils) did small optimization
during repeated builds because it instructed 'ar' to not
open/close unchanged *.o files and to rather read their contents
from old archive file. However, its removal should not cause a
big performance hit for usual workflows.
Distributions started using --enable-deterministic-archives
knowing that it would disable the 'u', just to rather have a bit
more deterministic builds.
Also, to justify this change a bit more, keeping 'u' in ARFLAGS
could only result in many per-project changes to override
Libtool's ARFLAGS default, just to silent such warnings.
Fixes bug#19967. Reported by Eric Blake.
* m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_AR): Default AR_FLAGS to 'cr'.
(_LT_REQUIRED_DARWIN_CHECKS): Use $AR_FLAGS instead 'cru' string.
* doc/libtool.texi: Do 's/ar cru/ar cr/' in whole documentation.
* NEWS: Document.
