[Fwd: Fwd: Re: [Evolution] Extremely long link times]

[Dan Hensley <dan hensley home com>]

PeterW's libtool fix does speed up the compile time considerably, but
Pilot conduits will not be linked correctly with the patch.  What will
happen is that when you try to do something with the EAddress component
it will complain of an unresolved symbol.  The only way to fix this is
to compile without the libtool fix (which really stinks, because on my
Athlon 1.2G/512MB RAM it takes 1 1/2 hours).

Basically libtool 1.4 sucks rocks when it comes to dependencies.
