Dear developers,

I have reported the following bug on<address@hidden>  (see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-libtool/2011-07/msg00002.html and
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-libtool/2011-08/msg00001.html).

On the documentation of libtool, the word "linux" is sometimes used to refer to
the entire free software system that uses the kernel Linux. According to the GNU
project's "Information for Maintainers of GNU Software", maintainers of GNU
programs have to name the entire system
"GNU/Linux" (http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#Preface and
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#GNU-and-Linux).

So here is a patch to fix this bug in various parts of GNU libtool:

- core files libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh and libltdl/m4/libtool.m4.

Please do not change the version type for libtool library versioning from linux to gnu-linux. I don't really mind the documentation changes, but I object to this change.

Peter
