Hi Jeff,

I haven't checked, but I'd guess that this is not limited to darwin,  
it seems like a bug to me that on linux with GNU ld, libtool reports  
that /usr/bin/true can create shared libraries.

Can you move LT_INIT to come just after AC_PROG_CC, but before  
AC_PROG_CXX, AC_PROG_F77 etc.? If so then doing so should, I think,  
make libtool not check other languages, then checking all the other  
languages conditionally would make the libtool language checks  
conditional too.
