> deprecate libtool.. I don't quite understand this. What if one uses something else than clang or gcc on the target system?

  Like an ancient compiler that’s also deprecated...?

  libtool isn't primarily about portability across compilers; libtool is about portability across linkers and library formats, from the days when there were many systems with deficient library support. It's not unreasonable to assume a modern linker, and modern library support.

    People still use macOS, which is the main reason I see "please add libtool support" these days.
    • JoshTriplett 6y ago
      It's possible to handle libraries on macOS without libtool.
