Hi Jacob,

Or maybe adopt an old idea from NetBSD.  Instead of using names like

Of course, it would take a long time for everyone to adopt that, but libtool
itself could easily adopt such a scheme, which may help speed up it's
acceptance ...

There is no problem with libtool built libraries, since you can tell whether an ar library was made with pic or non-pic objects from the .la file. The difficulty comes when trying to figure out what type of objects non-libtool libraries were built with...

Cheers,
        Gary.
