IIRC you need to do it this way, experimental or not: elibtoolize is needed for packages whose autotools have been generated with an old libtool (ie all of them for now). eautoreconf should call elibtoolize, so, after having this in elt-patches, better focus on upstreaming this in libtool itself so that the need for elibtoolize fades away with time. You will probably run into the same issues as in the old days with BSD: not all packages run elibtoolize and you do not have a sane way to force this besides editing ebuilds. Alexis.
