Yes, that is the situation.  Unfortunately, I did not save your 
original mail so I don't remember what options are being applied to 
GCC.  If it is options to support a library run-path then it may be 
possible to disable that via a configure script option.

Right.  Anything but null characters is valid in a unix world.  It is 
just that scripts and tools have problems with some other characters.

I suggest that you post your complaint to 'bug-libtool@gnu.org'. 
Forwarding your original email with a note at the top should be fine.
