Hi,

The package vifm is not built (FTBFS) on new architectures, for example
ppc64el, due to old libtool files.  I am attaching a patch that just update
those files before building and it works fine on ppc64el.  Probably the
recommended way to solve it is using dh-autoreconf, and in fact it works, but
give some warning that I don't how to fix, so, I am providing this simple patch
for reference.

Thank you
Breno
