Hi,
I'm now having the same error in devel/smpeg:

/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link g++  -mcpu=athlon-xp -march=athlon-xp
-pipe -march=athlon-xp -mcpu=athlon-xp -pipe -I/usr/pkg/include

The bad .la file (libGLU.la):

dependency_libs='/. /gcc-lib/i486-slackware-linux/../../../i486-slackware-linux/lib
/gcc-lib/i486-slackware-linux/../.. -lstdc++'


the original .la file has:

dependency_libs='-L/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/lib/.
-L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-slackware-linux/../../../i486-slackware-linux/lib
-L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-slackware-linux/../.. -lstdc++'

Looks exactly like the problem you reported in pkg/24760.

After using your patch devel/smpeg builds fine, all those -L..s are
properly removed from the .la file. I think your fix should be applied to
pkgsrc (as well as the upcoming 2004Q1 branch).
