okay, what's a "tagged combination" in libtool?

[Phil Edwards <pedwards at disaster dot jaj dot com>]

No matter how much of the build dir I wipe and reconfigure, I keep seeing

/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile /tec/build/3test/gcc/xgcc -B/tec/build/3test/gcc/
-B/usr/local/SW/GCC/2.97-20001016-v3/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/bin/
-B/usr/local/SW/GCC/2.97-20001016-v3/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/lib/ -isystem
/usr/local/SW/GCC/2.97-20001016-v3/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/include -L/tec/build/3test/ld -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.
-I../../../../unified/libstdc++-v3/libio -I.. -nostdinc++ -I.. -I../../../../unified/libstdc++-v3/include -I../libio
-I../../../../unified/libstdc++-v3/libio -I/usr/local/SW/GCC/2.97-20001016-v3/include    -D_GNU_SOURCE -g  -g -O2 -c
../../../../unified/libstdc++-v3/libio/filedoalloc.c
libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag'
gmake[3]: *** [filedoalloc.lo] Error 1

at the first attempt to build anything in the library.

I understand there's a new book on libtool that's been recently published.
Maybe it's described in there.  :-)
