C'mon Gary, two questions: is it *possible* to provide the old behavior without too much pain? Would that destroy some cool abstraction or some really fundamental thing? Or are you just waiting for a patch to do this? (ok, that was three questions now).
I would approve a patch which added LT_TRY_LINK or some such macro, and created a temporary configure time libtool script to do so. I think it would be a fairly hefty patch though. There is certainly enough information available to allow this as soon as the LT_INIT macro is complete, though there will be issues with quoting, as things are quoted one extra time because of the intervening config.status.
The issue is a real one, and should be addressed. I am not convinced that it need be addressed for libtool-2.0 though, nor that it requires reverting to libtool-1.5 behavior.
