Hi Jeremy,

Sorry, I don't read the Xorg lists that often, I was marking messages as
read today when I happened to notice this. Please bring up issues with
libtool either with me, or on the bug-libtool at gnu.org lists.

I added -Wl,-single_module to libtool on the request of a couple of
Apple engineers a few years ago. For the vast majority of circumstances
it should make no difference whatsoever, however there exist some areas
where it may make a difference (interposing).

export LT_MULTI_MODULE=yes; ./configure; make should "fix" this for you.

-single_module is the default in 10.5, and -multi_module is marked as
"obsolete" in the ld man page, are you seeing these problems on 10.5?
