No need on my account. I was just trying to explain why the bug
raised by HJ's patch will not be seen by him with the test suite.
Ah, I should have noted that -all-static could be used to see it.
However, it is unclear that flag may be used with the testsuite at
top-level since most directories run the compiler directly instead of
through libtool...
