What still *does* surprise me is that Hiten (early in this thread) said that
he compiled the aspell port with both compilers and had no problem.  I still
am not sure whether I have a problem on my own machine which needs to be
fixed -- or if this really is a problem with 'libtool' which everyone has,
and not just me.

Does 'libtool' really lock the end-user into using the same compiler all
the time, or am I doing something wrong (on both DFly and NetBSD)?

I'm not pestering you to fix a broken port -- I'm just trying to educate
myself.

Thanks!
