This test is especially relevant now that .lo files are infact wrapper 
scripts!  This is what I see on my linux box:

  $ ./libtool --debug -n --mode=link gcc -o something foo.o hell.lo
  libtool: enabling shell trace mode
  ...
  + compile_command=gcc -o @OUTPUT@ foo.o hell.lo
  + finalize_command=gcc -o @OUTPUT@ foo.o hell.lo
  + test -n ''
  + rpath=
  + hardcode_libdirs=
  + test -n ''
  + compile_rpath=
  + rpath=
  + hardcode_libdirs=
  + test -n ''
  + finalize_rpath=
  + test -n ' .libs/hell.o'
  + test yes = yes
  ++ echo 'Xgcc -o @OUTPUT@ foo.o hell.lo '
  ++ tr '\040' '\012'
  ++ sed -e '1s/^X//' -e 's/\.lo$/.o/'
  ++ tr '\015\012' '\040\040'
  + compile_command=gcc -o @OUTPUT@ foo.o hell.o
  ++ echo 'Xgcc -o @OUTPUT@ foo.o hell.lo '
  ++ tr '\040' '\012'
  ++ sed -e '1s/^X//' -e 's/\.lo$/.o/'
  ++ tr '\015\012' '\040\040'
  + finalize_command=gcc -o @OUTPUT@ foo.o hell.o
  + dlsyms=
  + test -n ''
  + test no '!=' no
  + test -n ''
  ++ echo 'Xgcc -o @OUTPUT@ foo.o hell.o  '
  ++ sed -e '1s/^X//' -e 's% @address@hidden'
  + compile_command=gcc -o @OUTPUT@ foo.o hell.o
  ++ echo 'Xgcc -o @OUTPUT@ foo.o hell.o  '
  ++ sed -e '1s/^X//' -e 's% @address@hidden'
  + finalize_command=gcc -o @OUTPUT@ foo.o hell.o
  + test no = no
  ++ echo 'Xgcc -o @OUTPUT@ foo.o hell.o  '
  ++ sed -e '1s/^X//' -e address@hidden@%something%g
  + compile_command=gcc -o something foo.o hell.o
  + link_command=gcc -o something foo.o hell.o
  + echo 'gcc -o something foo.o hell.o  '
  gcc -o something foo.o hell.o
  + : eval 'gcc -o something foo.o hell.o  '
  + status=0
  + test -n ''
  + exit 0

It is the lo2o sed script that performs the filtering.

Cheers,
        Gary.
