Hm, in the libtool cvs they have some up-to-date darwin things. I wonder 
if this will be candidate sometimes to be imported.

At least I get that far:

checking dynamic linker characteristics... darwin6.3 dyld
checking command to parse /usr/bin/nm -p output... ok
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build static libraries... yes
creating libtool

Now I await bootstrap finishing and see what I have to modify in the 
library section.
Don't expect too much, this is hard hackery, some kind of trial and 
error. And a bit of James Dean, 'they do not know what they are doing'.

I wish I'd have a dual G4. Than it would be a bit easier ;)
Like the Enterprise 2, which is quite speedy compared with the Sparc 5 I 
have. And you can make -j 2 ....
