problem linking

[Michail Vidiassov]

Dear Thomas,

whaen I was trying to compile development version of ncurses (without libtool),
the folowing problem surfaced

/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 ../obj_s/ansi.o ../obj_s/charset.o 
../obj_s/color.o
 ../obj_s/control.o ../obj_s/crum.o ../obj_s/edit.o ../obj_s/fun.o 
../obj_s/init.o ../obj_s/menu.o
 ../obj_s/modes.o ../obj_s/output.o ../obj_s/pad.o ../obj_s/scan.o 
../obj_s/sync.o ../obj_s/sysdep.o
../obj_s/tack.o -L../lib -lncursesw -L/opt/local/lib -Wl,-search_paths_first  
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H
 -I../tack -I. -I. -I../include -I/opt/local/include -U_XOPEN_SOURCE 
-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -DSIGWINCH=28
 -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED -DNDEBUG -I/opt/local/include -O2  --param 
max-inline-insns-single=1200
 -no-cpp-precomp -dynamic  -o tack
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 is input for the dynamic link editor,
 is not relocatable by the static link editor again

as you can see, gcc is mentioned twice in the beginning of the line.
is is caused by the following line in tack/Makefile.in :
LINK           = @LINK_PROGS@ $(LIBTOOL_LINK) $(CC)

That line was there at 5.6, but it did not bite, since LIBTOOL_LINK was set to 
nothing.
But now, in the development version, LIB_LINK, and thus LIBTOOL_LINK, is set to 
CC by configure.

Looks like a bug.

    Sincerely, Michail
