The original comment regarding the CR was that gcc leaves a trailing CR which upsets mingw. I am unable to test whether this is actually a problem. The libtool patch to strip carriage returns was made by Gary Vaughan on 1999-08-03. The predates the libtool archive.

I did the pathname canonicalization because the libtool macro did it and I was trying the provide a default value for LD comparible to what libtool would generate. It's unnecessary in the configurations that I use and would have no objection in removing it. Dave -- J.
