Bug 143890

Description of problem:

When building shared libraries using

   libtool --mode=link g++ -o foo.la ...objects... -rpath somedir

libtool attempts to reference to the crti files living in
/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.1/. This doesn't work, since both
gcc and g++ have been updated to versions 3.4.2 since the last update
of libtool.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

   libtool-1.5.6-4

How reproducible:

   In a convenient FC3 shell and an empty directory
   Type: libtool --mode=link g++ -o fred.la fred.o -rpath /lib
   Watch the diagnostics to see that the wrong paths are referenced
  
Actual results:


Expected results:

   Well, I definitely don't expect that command to work, since
   there isn't any fred.o, but making reference to a bad path
   definitely wasn't the expected failure mode. :-)


Additional info:

   I rebuilt libtool locally by hand from the SRPM, deinstalled
   the fedora-supplied binary rpm and installed my newly built
   version. This "solved" the problem, so it looks like the
   existing libtool package may simply need to be
