New in 2.4.2 2011-10-17: git version 2.4.1a, Libtool team:

* New features:

  - The --with-pic configure option now supports a list of comma-separated
    package names.  This can be used to build some static libraries with PIC
    objects while building others with non-PIC objects.

  - Initial support for Go, using the gccgo compiler.

  - On Mac OS X .dylib is now tried as well as .so with
    lt_dlopenext().

* Bug fixes:

  - The generic approximation of the command line length limit (when getconf is
    not available) works again.  Regression introduced in v2.2.6-39-g9c3d4d8.
  - The bug that leaked developer tool paths into the release tarballs
    from ./bootstrap is fixed.
  - Improved support for the Cuda Compiler Driver (nvcc) on Darwin.
  - For GCC LTO support, the -fuse-linker-plugin switch is now also removed
    when computing compiler postdeps.

* Important incompatible changes:

  - The undocumented hardcode_libdir_flag_spec_ld tag variable has been
    removed in favor of using hardcode_libdir_flag_spec with $wl set to empty.

* Changes in supported systems or compilers:

  - Fixes for gfortran on Darwin, XL Fortran on GNU/Linux.
  - Support for FreeBSD 1.x (outdated since 1994) has been removed.
