Comment(by devans at macports.org):

 When you say it does not appear, do you mean that the build concluded
 without error although there
 are unexpanded variables of the from ${wl} in the libtool generated
 commands or are you saying
 that you do not see the unexpanded ${wl} at all?

 It's clear from looking at the generated libtool script that they intend
 this to be expanded
 to -Wl, for passing linker arguments throught the compiler but apparently
 there are too many layers of quoting/escaping used in this script and it
 isn't getting expanded at the end.

 But I can't spot where the problem is.

 From searching for ${wl} in previous bug reports where error listings are
 provided it looks like
 this happens commonly although apparently it doesn't always result in
 script failures depending
 on the circumstance.

 Perhaps someone who understands the libtool internals beter than I, could
 spot the problem and how
 to fix it.  Would have to be patched post-configure to work since that is
 where libtool gets
 generated.

 Would also appreciate it if others using Tiger could confirm or deny this
 problem.

 Thanks.
