Interesting...I had not time to look into the libtool issue. What you
have found is interesting. I'm a bit confused about the steps you have
described. Are you saying to do 1) alias gcc=ccc, 2) run ./configure,
then 3) run ./ltconfig or are you saying do 3) before 2). If I do 3
before 2, then configure wipes out the libtool that ltconfig built.
It's doing it when I try this procedure on SDL. Also if I do 3 after
2, then the libtool file does not match what came out of configure.
(I'm not sure if the mismatch is really a problem or not.)
Something strange is going on in configure. There's something in
configure that says if I'm not gcc, then don't create a shared lib.
It gets worse if you specify CFLAGS in the environment, then it
doesn't work at all (gcc pukes on my -arch switch). It seems to
be calling /usr/bin/gcc directly.
