Tested with libtool-1.4.3-r1 and -r3. When trying to emerge kdegraphics-3.1.4,
after a lengthy compilation the process fails with an error message explaining
that "libGL.la" is not a valid libtool archive.

Reproducible: Always

On my system I don't have any libGL.la that can be found by libtool. Could you try what happens if you rename /usr/lib/libGL.la to some unrelated name (for backup)
Comment 3 Klaus-J. Wolf 2004-01-11 10:48:18 UTC 
Hmmm, I first removed ALL of the .la files (in /usr/lib, there are 232 of them), which brought me a
"libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la'".

Second, I removed only libGL.la and ... it worked!

I guess the comment inside of that file: "# Please DO NOT delete this file! # It is necessary for linking the library." might be true only to a certain degree. I create an attachment with that file (which was apparently generated by xfree-4.3.0-r3) and hope some one can do some diagnostics on it.

Okay, I see, it came from the nvidia crap. My fault, since I installed it manually. I close this bug. Sorry...
