Re: What is a buggy system linker?

Hi,

For what it's worth, when I do a make install, I get a message from libtool,
telling me that it's relinking the program for me.  Presumably this means
I've got nothing to worry about.

 /bin/sh ../libtool  --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c gnome-name-service /home/lyndon/bin/gnome-name-service
libtool: install: warning: relinking `gnome-name-service' on behalf of your buggy system linker
