Hi,

Thanks for continuing work on libtool!

Below is an excerpt from [g]make check of libtool-1.15.23b on
amd64-unknown-freebsd6.2 (most PASSes omitted):

(Are these failures serious?)
Let me know if you need any more information about any of these test
cases, or my configuration.

(I've got results from i386-unknown-freebsd4.3 coming soon too.)

I've been chasing a problem with libtool installing shared-lib executables
referring to libraries in the build-dir (FreeBSD only), so I'm hoping that
the upcoming release fixes things.  I'm seeing post-install errors:

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Cannot open "./.libs/libhello.so"

on a hello-world shared library demo project.
Was this resolved since 1.15.22?
