+ m4/libtool.m4: export AIX TLS symbols
+
+ TLS symbols in AIX display a new, different symbol type in nm output.
+ Libtool explicitly creates a list of exported symbols for AIX shared
+ libraries using nm and does not recognize the new TLS symbols, so
+ those symbols are not exported in AIX shared libraries.
+
+ This is a regression for TLS support on AIX where TLS symbols or GCC
+ "emultls" symbols were listed as global data and exported.
+
+ This patch updates libtool.m4 export_symbols_cmds for AIX in two
+ locations so that global symbols labeled with "L" for TLS are included
+ in the export list.
+
+ * m4/libtool.m4 (export_symbols_cmds) [AIX]: Add global TLS "L" symbols.

+ syntax-check: fix sed syntax errors
+
+ Multi-line single-quoted shell arguments defined within makefile

+
+ funclib: refactor quoting methods a bit
+
+ From now we have two basic functions to perform string quoting for
+ shell evaluation -- 'func_quote_arg' to quote one argument and
+ 'func_quote' which takes list of arguments to be quoted.
+
+ New function name-scheme should be more descriptive (previously we
+ called func_quote_for_eval with one argument and also multiple
+ arguments, while we had confusing
+ $func_quote_for_eval_unquoted_result which is redundant for
+ multiple-arguments call).
+
+ New abstraction allowed us (in an easy way) to implement
+ bash-specific optimization for quoting (using
+ 'printf -v VARNAME %q "$value"', suggested by Eric Blake), this
+ construct may be used on those places where we don't care much
+ about the result aesthetics (its thus not useful for '*.la'
+ generation or for error printing).
+
+ * gl/build-aux/funclib.sh (func_append_quoted): Use
+ func_quote_arg internally (kept in 'pretty' mode for now).
+ (func_quote): Made to be "main" high-level quoting method taking
+ list of arguments to be quoted into single command. It replaces
+ func_quote_for_{expand,eval}.
+ (func_quote_portable): Implements quoting in shell, falling back
+ to portable sed call (rare cases).
+ (func_quotefast_eval): New internal function using fast
+ bash-specific construct, falling back to func_quote_portable for
+ non-Bash scripts.
+ (func_quote_arg): New function to quote one argument.
+ (func_quote_for_eval): Removed. All callers changed to call
+ func_quote.
+ (func_quote_for_expand): Likewise.
+ * bootstrap: Sync with funclib.sh and options-parser.
+
+2015-10-12 Pavel Raiskup <praiskup@redhat.com>
+
+ libtool: optimizing options-parser hooks
+
+ Its not necessary to (re)func_quote_for_eval in each function in
+ the hook hierarchy. Usually it is enough if the leaf function
+ does func_quote_for_eval and its caller just re-uses the
+ <CALLEE>_return variable.
+
+ This is follow up for the previous commit.
+
+ * gl/build-aux/options-parser (func_run_hooks): Propagate
+ $EXIT_SUCCESS return code down to caller if *any* hook succeeded.
+ Never re-quote the result -- either the arguments are left
+ untouched, or the options have already been properly quoted by
+ succeeding hooks.
+ (func_parse_options): Quote '$@' and return $EXIT_SUCCESS only if
+ we changed something.
+ (func_validate_options): Likewise.
+ (func_options_prep): Likewise.
+ (func_options_finish): New hook-caller for 'func_options' hooks.
+ (func_options): Propagate return value down to top-level caller,
+ but pay attention we have always set $func_options_result.
+ * build-aux/ltmain.in (libtool_options_prep): Quote '$@' and

+ gnulib: sync with upstream
+
+ With gnulib commit f8fe25fab60e3, AM_PROG_AR is called
+ automatically from GL_EARLY macro, which brings its definition
+ into aclocal.m4. Sufficiently new enough AM_PROG_AR uses guarding
+ AC_BEFORE([AM_PROG_AR], [LT_INIT]) call.
+
+ Existence of 'LT_INIT' string inside aclocal.m4 however broke
+ bootstrap's self-defensive libtool_check_for_bogus_macros
+ function.
+
+ * build-aux/no-bogus-m4-defines: New aux helper using m4 for
+ aclocal.m4 pre-processing. As this is only bootstrap/dist time
+ assertion, we don't have to be too much careful (and the AC_BEFORE
+ pushdef is OK for now).
+ * boostrap.conf (libtool_check_for_bogus_macros): Use
+ no-bogus-m4-defines helper to detect bogus macros.

+
+ ARFLAGS: use 'cr' instead of 'cru' by default
+
+ In some GNU/Linux distributions people started to compile 'ar'
+ binary with --enable-deterministic-archives (binutils project).
+ That, however, in combination with our previous long time working
+ default AR_FLAGS=cru causes warnings on such installations:
+ ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default (see `U')
+
+ The 'u' option (at least with GNU binutils) did small optimization
+ during repeated builds because it instructed 'ar' to not
+ open/close unchanged *.o files and to rather read their contents
+ from old archive file. However, its removal should not cause a
+ big performance hit for usual workflows.
+
+ Distributions started using --enable-deterministic-archives
+ knowing that it would disable the 'u', just to rather have a bit
+ more deterministic builds.
+
+ Also, to justify this change a bit more, keeping 'u' in ARFLAGS
+ could only result in many per-project changes to override
+ Libtool's ARFLAGS default, just to silent such warnings.
+
+ Fixes bug#19967. Reported by Eric Blake.
+
+ * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_AR): Default AR_FLAGS to 'cr'.
+ (_LT_REQUIRED_DARWIN_CHECKS): Use $AR_FLAGS instead 'cru' string.
+ * doc/libtool.texi: Do 's/ar cru/ar cr/' in whole documentation.
+ * NEWS: Document.

+
+ libool.m4: add ARFLAGS variable
+
+ Libtool has used $AR_FLAGS since 2000-05-29 commit
+ 8300de4c54e6f04f0d, Automake ARFLAGS since 2003-04-06 commit
+ a71b3490639831ca. Even though ARFLAGS is younger, it sounds like
+ better name according GNU Coding Standards.
+
+ Related to bug#20082.
+
+ * m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PROG_AR): Copy ARFLAGS value into AR_FLAGS
+ variable if AR_FLAGS is not set. Add new _LT_DECL'ed variable
+ 'lt_ar_flags' to keep the configure-time value of AR_FLAGS. The
+ new 'lt_ar_flags' is to be used as the default value for AR_FLAGS
+ at libtool-runtime.

+ Blacklisting of duplicated ChangeLog entries is now much easier

+
+ * Makefile.am ($(changelog)): Start ignoring entries having the
+ 'Omit-from-ChangeLog.' "topic" line. Use TZ=UTC to generate the
+ same ChangeLog regardless of the actual time-zone.
+ * build-aux/git-log-fix: Put the "blacklist" mark at the beginning

+
+ libtoolize: fix infinite recursion in m4
+
+ Some projects use this construct in configure.ac:
+
+ m4_define([version], m4_include([version]))
+ pkg_version=version
+
+ When the m4_include builtin is undefined (as was done in
+ libtoolize and extract-trace scripts), the call to this 'version'
+ macro enters an infinite recursion (until ENOMEM). So rather
+ re-define all potentially dangerous macros by empty strings,
+ suggested by Eric Blake.
+
+ While we are on it, merge the macro-"blacklist" with similar list
+ implemented in gettext, except for 'm4_esyscmd'. It's kept
+ defined because we already trace AC_INIT macro for package
+ version, while it is often specified by
+ m4_esyscmd(git-version-gen). Similarly to m4_include, m4_esyscmd
+ might be opt-in-blacklisted in future.

+ libtool: support LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH for adjusting bad guesses.
+
+ Revert 8728e07 and 440fee6.
+ Some GNU/Linux distributions install libraries into /lib64 (or

+ respectively) stays for multilib variant. Other distributions
+ keep /usr/lib for 64-bit variant and reserve other directory for
+ multilib. Detection of what approach a given system uses is
+ difficult, however, especially because Glibc's ldconfig does not
