Ouch. Harsh.

At the risk of having a technical discussion on the talk list, I wonder
what the ramifications would be of just not shipping .la files for the
gcc runtime libs?  It's possible that this would "trick" libtool into
just recording -lstdc++ etc, instead of canonicalizing to
/full/path/to/libstdc++.la.

Just a thought.

No -- Godzilla will be summoned by Libtool to destroy tokyo, and
mothra just comes along for the ride like a cheap freeloader.
Ungrateful git.

  Noooooooo!  Don't be horrible to Moth-Ra, it's not his fault that a bunch of
crazy native cultists living on a pacific island woke him up, and it's not his
fault that Tokyo is so full of these towering bright lights!  He has to fly
around and around the skyscrapers in ever-decreasing circles, that's just what
moths do, and it's not his fault that he bumps into one now and again and it's
so flimsy it just falls down!

  Poor ol' Moth-Ra.  Condemned by association after a trial-by-media.  He's
not bad, just misunderstood.  It isn't easy, being a moth.

    cheers,

well, tokyo just happens to be a wonderful "OOOH SHINEY" moment for
anything with a brain smaller than 4 synapses. Mothra was all up in
Godzilla's stuff, so therefore godzilla was particularly miffed.
