Would updating the 1.6 branch using the latest libtool help (though we may still need to use our libguile-ltdl, depending on what they've changed), or are you saying you already did that update (hence the large patch)? If the latter, then did you just libtoolize to get the latest bits of everything but libltdl, or did you merge the upstream libltdl changes into libguile-ltdl as well? Also do you follow libtool upstream well enough to have a sense that libtool CVS is be stable enough for a 1.6 point release for all our other platforms? > The new guile diffs against libtool, generated automagically in > libguile-ltdl/upstream, are more readable, because they are very > small. > The fact that guile 1.6.x is no longer a standard libtoolized > package (where the user can upgrade libtool with a single command if > necessary) but ships a modified copy that needs some work to upgrade > is what cost me most time. But maybe I missed something. Unfortunately, we didn't really have an alternative. We can still use libtoolize to bring the guile tree up to date; we just can't use the upstream libltdl until/unless they've fixed the important bugs.
