Steps to reproduce

Try to build BIND after configuring.

Watch it fail with libtool-related issues in either

bin/tests/system/dyndb/driver/ or bin/tests/system/dlzexternal/

What is the current bug behavior?

Out of the box, this happens:

Stop.

It appears that libtool adds the "-Wl,-rpath" entries, as if it was talking to the C compiler instead of 'ld'.

So I patched configure.in to use "${CC}" and "-shared -Wl,-x" as SO_LD and SO_LDFLAGS respectively for NetBSD.

This is however not sufficient -- the person coding the Makefile.in in the above mentioned directories is apparently somewhere half-way between actually using libtool and doing the linking "by hand".

What is the expected correct behavior?

The build should complete...

The combined diff file attached here acheives that (but the required renaming of the shared library objects may require other code to adapt). Libtool insists that things it should link into a library must start with "lib" and end in ".la", and adding "-rpath somedir" automagically triggers the creation of a shared library object.

Relevant configuration files

This is not a run-time issue, so no relevant config files.

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

None, above the excerpt above.

Possible fixes

Diff attached. diff

Oh, yes, and the SO_STRIP construct looks extremely sketchy; it only processes the arguments given to libtool, not the arguments libtool as a result might emit, such as "-Wl,-rpath,/dir"... It looks like a bad band-aid which should be removed.
