That's where I copied that snippet from :-) I've just filed an Automake
RFE to allow adding to the automatically generated site.exp. Once that
gets implemented, those contortions can go away and everything will be
consistent.
Given the lack of further comments/approval, I'll probably ping
this patch (and the gnat.dg cleanup) early next week, seeking a global
reviewer for comments. By that time, I'll have something in place to
prune the ranlib warnings Iain reported. I doubt doing so in libtool
with --silent would be appropriate.
It's a pity we have to live without a testsuite maintainer for so long.
Thanks.
Rainer
