- Libtool script now supports (configure-time and runtime) ARFLAGS
variable, which obsoletes AR_FLAGS. This is due to naming conventions
among other *FLAGS and to be consistent with Automake's ARFLAGS.
- Gnulib testsuite is enabled and run during 'make check'.
- Support the Windows version of the Intel C Compiler (icl) in
libtool script.
- Pass '-fsanitize=*' flags for GCC and LLVM, and '-specs=*' for GCC
to linker.
- Pass '-Xassembler=*' and '-Wa,*' flag to compilers and linkers.
- The variable 'FILECMD' with default value of '/usr/bin/file' was used to
replace existing hard coded references to '/usr/bin/file'.
- Add MidnightBSD support.
- Libtool changed ARFLAGS/AR_FLAGS default from 'cru' to 'cr'.
- Do not pass '-pthread' to Solaris linker.
- 'libtool' and 'libtoolize' scripts now use '#! /usr/bin/env sh' shebang.
Previously '#! /bin/sh' was used, which presents challenges for
containerized environments.
- Fix significant slowdown of libtoolize for certain projects (regression
introduced in 2.4.3 release) caused by infinite m4 macro recursion.
- Mitigate the slowdown of libtool script (introduced in v2.4.3) caused by
increased number of calls to '$SED $sed_quote_subst' (bug#20006).
- Properly parse and export TLS symbols on AIX.
- Various bug fixes surrounding use of 'sed'.
- Darwin systems set proper "allow undefined" flag on OSX 11, and
PowerPC 10.5.
- Removed some deprecated tests related to 'Makefile.inc' files.

- Fix install_info_{install,delete} usage: install-info does not
allow file globbing.
This fixes issues seen in the buildroot as well when uninstalling libtool:
[ 102s] (order: reverse libltdl7-debuginfo libtool-debugsource libltdl7 libtool)
[ 102s] install-info: excess command line argument `/usr/share/info/libtool.info-2.gz'

Noteworthy changes in release 2.4.6 (2015-02-15) [stable]
* New features:
- LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH can be set in config.site, or at configure time
and persists correctly in the generated libtool script.
* Bug fixes:
- Fix a race condition in ltdl dryrun test that would cause spurious
random failures of that test.
- LT_SYS_DLSEARCH_PATH is munged correctly.
- Add tarball signature.

** New features:
- Moved to gnulib release infrastructure.
- M4 is now used for scanning the M4 macros in your configure.ac that
'libtoolize' looks at to determine what files you want, and where you
would like them installed. This means that you can compose your
version number or any other argument that Libtoolize needs to know at
M4 time using git-version-gen from gnulib, for example.
- Invoking 'libtoolize --ltdl' no longer maintains a separate autoconf
macro directory in the libltdl tree, but automatically adjusts the
installed libltdl configuration files to share whatever macro
directory is declared by the parent project. (Note: if you were
already sharing a macro directory with AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR(ltdl/m4)
or similar, that still works as does any other directory choice).
- Invoking 'libtoolize --ltdl' no longer maintains a separate auxiliary
scripts directory in the libltdl tree, but automatically adjusts the
installed libltdl configuration files to share whatever auxiliary
scripts directory is declared by the parent project. (Note: if you
were already sharing an auxiliary directory with subproject libltdl
using AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(ltdl/config) or similar, that still works as
does any other directory choice).
- The legacy tests have all been migrated to the Autotest harness.
- The Autotest testsuite can be run without the especially time consuming
tests with:
make check-local TESTSUITEFLAGS='-k "!expensive"'
** Bug fixes:
- Fix a long-standing latent bug in autom4te include path for autotests
with VPATH builds.
- Fix a long-standing latent bug in libtoolize that could delete lines
from libltdl/Makefile.am in recursive mode due to underquoting in a

- The generic approximation of the command line length limit (when getconf is
not available) works again. Regression introduced in v2.2.6-39-g9c3d4d8.
- The bug that leaked developer tool paths into the release tarballs
from ./bootstrap is fixed.
- Improved support for the Cuda Compiler Driver (nvcc) on Darwin.
- For GCC LTO support, the -fuse-linker-plugin switch is now also removed
when computing compiler postdeps.
- The undocumented hardcode_libdir_flag_spec_ld tag variable has been
removed in favor of using hardcode_libdir_flag_spec with $wl set to empty.

packages using the system wide libtool script compile.
- Add gcc-c++ gcc-fortran and gcc-objc to buildrequires so that
packages using the system wide libtool script compile.
- Add a rpmlintrc to shut up rpmlint on most warnings.

incompatible changes:
- The fix_srcfile_path variable has been replaced by a more thorough
mechanism triggered by the to_tool_file_cmd variable.
- The wrapper command line option support described above introduces the
following incompatibility: the wrapper will remove any command line
options that begin with '--lt-*' from the argument list before launching
(uninstalled) programs. Any '--lt-*' option on the command line not
recognized by the wrapper will result in an error.
- The type of the symbol lists variables (lt_*_LTX_preloaded_symbols) has
been fixed in the manual and in a couple of tests to match the actual
implementation.
