Thanks for applying fix to this problem, it was persisting among Linux
package maintainers FOR YEARS (not sure if other unices are
affected), and somehow any proposal to cure it is rejected/ignored,
forcing each distribution to include its own hacks, or (in extreme
practice) include hacked version of libtool into EACH INDIVIDUAL
package. That's what I saw in RPM world, not sure if it's the same in
Debian.
