When building libltdl with the MSVC toolchain, Fortran checks can cause
issues with finding symbols, but users can avoid this by setting the
Fortran compiler environment variables to "no".

* doc/notes.texi: Add item.
For many GNU/Linux systems, the shared library cache is not updated
after a "make install". Some reasoning is outlined in the
documentation now for users with instruction for how to update
the shared library cache if desired.
Reported: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=78321
* build-aux/ltmain.in: Add informational note during build.
* doc/notes.texi: Update.
When using the flag -fsanitize=address with g++, the user should also
specify -lasan to ensure linking occurs correctly. libtool uses
-nostdlib, and gcc implicitly includes -lasan when -fsanitize=address
is used. However, g++ does not implicitly include -lasan. The
documentation has been updated to reflect this information rather than
adding the -lasan flag to libtool.
* doc/notes.texi: Document that the user should pass -lasan.

Some GNU/Linux distributions install libraries into /lib64 (or
/usr/lib64) on 64-bit machines, while /lib (/usr/lib
respectively) stays for multilib variant. Other distributions
keep /usr/lib for 64-bit variant and reserve other directory for
multilib. Detection of what approach a given system uses is
difficult, however, especially because Glibc's ldconfig does not
report the full and correct list of search paths. Allow the user
to adjust Libtools heuristically determined search paths with
the new LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable at both
compile-time, when libtool is called, and at configure time.
* m4/libtool.m4 (_LT_PREPARE_MUNGE_PATH_LIST): Define a new
function to munge a libtool path list according to a user
supplied colon-delimited path.
(_LT_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): Require _LT_PREPARE_MUNGE_PATH_LIST.
Mark LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH as precious to autoconf (to survive
automatic "autoreconf").
Call the new func_munge_path_list function on
sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec - this propagates results to
generated libtool script.
(_LT_CONFIG): Expand _LT_PREPARE_MUNGE_PATH_LIST into generated
libtool script.
* build-aux/ltmain.in (func_mode_link): Call it to adjust
sys_lib_dlsearch_path according to LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH.
* doc/libtool.texi: Document new LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH.
* doc/notes.texi: Likewise.
* NEWS: Update.

sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec): Allow for a cache variable
lt_cv_sys_lib_... to set these at configure time.
* doc/notes.texi: Short note about the above change.
Point the user to the doc/notes.txt file. In the examples, use
`gmake' throughout to make it more obvious. Explain simpler way
to run both testsuites and either one. Referring to individual
tests needs the `tests/' prefix.
* README.alpha: Likewise.
* doc/notes.texi: Likewise, document need for GNU make.
Comment out the FreeBSD make issue for now.
* tests/template.at: Only skip those tests failing on Darwin
if `-flat_namespace' is used by libtool. In that case, SKIP
at the end. Analysis by Peter O'Gorman.
