Could you explain what problem this solves?
I would be glad to check your patch in, but I don't really
know what the intended effect is.

Thanks

This patch is long outdated (check the date). The discussion that led to it was 
done in some other place by other people, and I'm afraid I can't quite remember 
the details.

Anyway, the general problem is that libtool generates a linker command line 
that lists static libraries twice, leading to link errors because of duplicate 
symbols. Not sure about the further circumstances, though...

PS: While it never ceases to amaze me what one can do with a shell script, 
libtool (and auto*) have been overdoing it by a large margin. That's IMHO, of 
course.
