Hi, Given these issues have been lingering for about a decade if not longer, with no progress, I don't have much hope for that to ever happen, sadly. Besides, last release of libtool was more than five years ago, even if it was still worked on it seems unlikely a fix could make its way into Debian via that route in time. We could replicate the same monkey-patching directly in all the affected packages, but that doesn't feel like the best solution? Thanks! -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
