Re: Bogus dependencies in libtool .la files for libgtk2.0-devel-2.20.1-1, libpango1.0-devel-1.28.1-1, libpango1.0-devel-1.28.1-1

This problem comes from *executing libtool commands*
You can see in config.status of pango

$ cat config.status|grep postdeps
postdeps=''
postdeps_CXX='-lstdc++ -lmingwthrd -lmingw32 -lgcc_s -lgcc -lmoldname 
-lmingwex -lmsvcrt -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -luser32 -lkernel32 -lmingwthrd 
-lmingw32 -lgcc_s -lgcc -lmoldname -lmingwex -lmsvcrt'

rm ./libtool
./config.status #we can see *executing libtool commands*. and libtool is 
auto-generated.
and now resulting libtool has ill-tagged postdeps variable

$ cat libtool|grep postdeps
postdeps=""
      # don't eliminate duplications in $postdeps and $predeps
      libs="$predeps $libs $compiler_lib_search_path $postdeps"
      # $postdeps and mark them as special (i.e., whose duplicates are
        for pre_post_dep in $predeps $postdeps; do
              case " $predeps $postdeps " in
        case " $predeps $postdeps $compiler_lib_search_path " in
                  case " $predeps $postdeps " in
                    case " $predeps $postdeps " in
                case " $predeps $postdeps " in
                case " $predeps $postdeps " in
            for i in $predeps $postdeps ; do
postdeps="-lstdc++ -lmingwthrd -lmingw32 -lgcc_s -lgcc -lmoldname 
-lmingwex -lmsvcrt -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -luser32 -lkernel32 -lmingwthrd 
-lmingw32 -lgcc_s -lgcc -lmoldname -lmingwex -lmsvcrt"


Why we got postdeps instead of postdeps_CXX?

Regards.
