It seems as though libtool is broken for a couple (if not more) a.out
platforms. The platforms being arm32 (see PR/10908) and sparc (see
PR/8669). I've attached a patch that will revert libtool to using ld for
a.out platforms that I would like to commit during the freeze. Is this
OK?

The original reasoning for the cc -dumpspecs check was that /usr/lib
shouldn't be hardcoded as this breaks cross-compilation. I don't believe
that we need to be able to use libtool in a cross compilation enviroment
especially not in pkgsrc - a proper package would go in pkgsrc/cross,
right?

Comments, thoughts?

Nick
