It looks to me like somebody found an obscure legacy proprietary unix (or perhaps even just a particular broken installation of one) where real static linking fails, and all they really cared about was static-linking the in-project libraries, not the system ones, so they changed -static to accommodate this one broken system and broke static linking on all sane, working systems in the process. If this is the case, I believe the correct fix is to restore -static to its correct meaning and add a separate option for linking only project-internal libraries static. And of course -all-static should be left in place too so as not to break anything if somebody is somehow successfully using it (even though it seems doubtful that it can be used successfully...).

I think the -static, -all-static etc libtool flags were meant for Makefiles, not really for user LDFLAGS. Peter
