What was my objection back then? I'm sure someone objected, because otherwise it would have gone in; and I'm sure it was me, because nobody else cares about the libtool internals. :-)
What is relinking supposed to achieve?
IMO, useless waste of CPU time, nothing else (well, I'm sure there are some bordercases where it actually needed, but if so, introduce a flag to force relinking during installation).
Not entirely true. With your change (or one very similar), all of the *-exec.tests in the libtool test suite failed. These tests attempt to run the uninstalled executable. I'm not sure why; it's probably a side effect of the change, not just "relinking" itself. Investigating...
