RE: libtool-1.5.4 problem compiling xfsprogs

[Post, Mark K]

Here's the configure command I used:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
               --enable-shared=no

As you can see, I didn't specify a compiler name.

No.  If the tag is not specified using the --tag= option, then libtool will
guess the tag from the first word after the libtool options.  If you used
'CC=gcc -g' while running configure, then libtool won't be able to guess the
tag correctly since it parses the command line as presented.

Use CC=gcc CFLAGS=-g in order to avoid tag name mismatches.
