hey Ralf!
the rationale is to not have symlinked libraries. I am under the
impression that this is not desired in OpenBSD ports/packages.
I could be wrong, but I thought this "policy decision" was made
at one point. that's why I asked for comments.
in other words, it's not addressing a bug, but a "policy decision".
I have a question for you Ralf. shouldn't running aclocal
create/update aclocal.m4? this doesn't seem to work for me, which
is why the port copies the patched libtool.m4 to aclocal.m4.
