If everyone agrees to go forward with thisOh, I should have said: "and if you don't mind, how do you feel about a GCC project fork of libtool?"Do you mean "do mind" or "don't mind" there?
What I meant to say was "and if you don't want libtool updated..."
If you want to update libtool, you get to play the all-of-src-uses-it game. I have been updating src directories to more recent autoconf versions in the hope of getting rid of our outdated libtool someday. I believe the only remaining holdout is newlib, but I didn't check everything.
OK. I don't want to update newlib to current tools; that would take too long and I don't have the ability to test the result. Nor am I very enthusiastic about updating, for instance, gdb.
I guess that means that I should just work around the existing libtool, or if necessary use the new version in just the directories that need it. Yuk.
