Hi,

An automated test of the current libtool HEAD [1] exhibits
test failures on NetBSD 10.0/x86_64.

testsuite: 61 169 failed

The relevant test, AFAIK, is test 61. Find attached the file
tests/testsuite.dir/061/testsuite.log.

I have not found a good solution for this test failure, so it is
currently being skipped on NetBSD, which fixes libtool's testsuite
errors. However, gnulib's test-option-parser.sh is failing, and I
am not sure where to start with debugging this. When you have time,
could you look at this for me?

I have applied a patch to the development branch [1] that resolves test
failure 61, currently 63: passing CXX flags through libtool.

For the test-option-parser.sh failure, I have applied a patch [2] on
github to skip testing the 'ksh' shell on NetBSD. stdout from a child
'ksh' shell is not redirecting properly to the parent shell. I am not
sure if this is a known issue with NetBSD's 'ksh' shell, but I did not
want to debug it further, which is why I chose to skip testing it. Since
'ksh' is the default shell for NetBSD, I have not committed this patch
to libtool, but I may do this later after some more research.

Otherwise, I think this issue can be closed.

This patch does not look right: It replaces an option sequence

  --as-needed -lgcc_s --no-as-needed -lgcc -lc --as-needed -lgcc_s --no-as-needed -lgcc

that has balanced uses of --as-needed/--no-as-needed with an option sequence

  --as-needed -lgcc_s

that leaves --as-needed in effect for the later linker options.

Oh yeah. This particular bug was unknown to me. But 'ksh' has a long-
standing reputation of being buggy. (Maybe because it was long used
by proprietary systems, which did not have bug trackers like modern
distros have?)

Thank you for the review. I should have replaced with an empty string
instead, which would mirror the previous replacement. I will update
this now.

Also, this patch should have version checking to decide whether to
use the patch version of the replacement or the previous one, but I
am not sure when these options changed.

The testsuite in NetBSD should be fixed on master [1] now with the
latest commit transition from development, so closing.
