That bug is all over the file, just search for set_version and
you'll get hits, only one false positive. Methinks this should be
fixed in a separate commit. Anyway, here's a revised patch that
fixes them in this area. Then you can select whichever approach
suits you best.

2005-03-17  Peter Ekberg  <address@hidden>

        * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_LINKER_SHLIBS): Test if it is
        possible to use the -exports_file linker option on
        irix with gcc, as the gcc specs file may include
        a -hidden_symbol option that is clashing with the
        -exports_file option.
        See this gcc bugzilla entry for further details:
        http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15288
        While fixing things in this general area, also fix
        $ECHO problems (quote multiple words and make sure
        the first word does not start with a hyphen).

I guess that satisfies your request in the other message
regarding THANKS/ChangeLog.

Cheers,
Peter
