But as this is specific for darwin (okay it will cause problems if 
cross-compiling), it is not that significant. libtool current-cvs has 
some similar crap in the darwin archive_cmds.

archive_cmds='$CC -r ${wl}-bind_at_load -keep_private_externs -nostdlib 
-o ${lib}-master.o $libobjs && $CC $(test .$module = .yes && echo 
-bundle || echo -dynamiclib) $allow_undefined_flag -o $lib 
${lib}-master.o $deplibs$linker_flags $(test .$module != .yes && echo 
-install_name $rpath/$soname $verstring)'

It can only get worse :/
