Hi Michael,
Yes, you are correct that upstream ships an ancient libtool version.
However I do not believe you are correct when you say that we are
linking against it.
I can't claim to be any kind of great expert in autoconf, but as far as
I can see the configure command line option --with-included-ltdl
actually does the opposite of what you suggest - below is quoted from
the libtool docs ...
"--with-included-ltdl
If there is no installed libltdl, or in any case if the person
building your package would rather use the libltdl sources shipped with
the package in the subdirectory named by LT_CONFIG_LTDL_DIR, they should
pass this option to configure.
If the --with-included-ltdl is not passed at configure time, and an
installed libltdl is not found, then configure will exit immediately
with an error that asks the user to either specify the location of an
installed libltdl using the --with-ltdl-include and --with-ltdl-lib
options, or to build with the libltdl sources shipped with the package
by passing --with-included-ltdl."
Cheers,
David.
