Is there a way to use autoconf/automake, but not use libtool?
The main problem with the libtool stuff on Irix is that the
C++ STL stuff gets treated like names from a library rather than
like macros/inline functions and so libtool ends up having
unresolved symbols. If libtool could be removed and
replaced with the regular style linking then I think that an
automake/autoconf build could be successful.
