I'm not sure which part of the thread you think I missed that said
anything about it.  Most of it is actually about complelty
unrelated issues that have nothing to do with bfin.

The only mail that seems to be about it is Ralf's mail about the
mangling.  But I'm not convinced that libtool should do any
mangle/demangle thing.  Atleast the gnu linker will already do the
proper thing for you, but some others might not.

If you think I missed something, please point me to the actual
mail or documentation.
