autoreconf, but same thing. The original patch failed because -objectlist 
does not like to see .la's, only .lo's. With the slightly modified version I 
posted the libtool line became just a few lines long rather than 80Kb.

It is not a failure, just a warning, but it seemed a little strange to be 
redifining sqrt. I might have a look, but probably not :)

Thanks,
