The 5 pending patches are:

2001-06-24  Timothy Wall <twall@redhat.com>

    * ltcf-c.sh: Don't disable shared libraries on AIX5/IA-64.

(when using GNU ld)

2001-06-29  Michael Chastain  <chastain@redhat.com>

        * ltconfig: Reduce limit on lt_cv_sys_max_cmd_len from 1 megabyte
        to 512 kilobytes.

(fixes a crash on HP-UX 10.20)

from  Mark Kettenis  <kettenis@gnu.org>

	* ltcf-cxx.sh: Add support for GNU.

(build C++ shared libraries on the Hurd)

2001-07-07  Jeff Sturm  <jsturm@one-point.com>

	* ltcf-c.sh: Use $objext, not $ac_objext.

(fixes a typo that detects whether the compiler already links -lc in)

There's another patch from Jeff Sturm that is wrong, and I'm going to
comment on it right away.
