relocatable-prog: Use wrapper-free installation also on Mac OS X.
Reported by Paul Smith <psmith@gnu.org>.
* build-aux/install-reloc: Accept a 'mode' argument as first argument.
(func_relativize): New function, from gnulib-tool.
Handle mode 'macosx' through invocations of 'otool' and
'install_name_tool'.
* m4/relocatable.m4 (gl_RELOCATABLE_BODY): Determine use_macos_tools.
If use_macos_tools is true, set INSTALL_PROGRAM_ENV to an
'install-reloc' invocation with mode 'macosx'.

@node Obsolete modules @section Obsolete modules @cindex Obsolete modules Modules can be marked obsolete. This means that the problems they fix don't occur any more on the platforms that are reasonable porting targets now. @code{gnulib-tool} warns when obsolete modules are mentioned on the command line, and by default ignores dependencies from modules to obsolete modules. When you pass the option @code{--with-obsolete} to @code{gnulib-tool}, dependencies to obsolete modules will be included, however, unless blocked through an @code{--avoid} option. This option is useful if your package should be portable even to very old platforms. In order to mark a module obsolete, you need to add this to the module description: @example Status: obsolete Notice: This module is obsolete. @end example
