I tried to get libtool to work, but I can't figure out how to do it...

But I've discovered that if I added LDFLAGS='-Wl,+b $(libdir)' to the
Makefile then it build this one correct. But this seems to work since
it's gcc which is the base command for linking this time...

And as you can see from my other mail, I get this and I don't use
unix-internal!

And what should be the contents of this one?

And how much time before you are finished?
