Sure.  I've pushed the combined patch as
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=libtool.git;a=commit;h=101ad44541c6d303cf465937a212042885f4338e>.

Wait until the nightly snapshot on <http://pogma.com/libtool/> is new
enough to contain this change, unpack it,
  ./configure
  make
  make check-local TESTSUITEFLAGS='-v -d -x -k execute'

If you have an old libtool script lying around from before the patch,
you can verify that the test suite exposes the failure, with:
  make check-local \
       TESTSUITEFLAGS='-v -d -x -k execute LIBTOOL=path/to/old/libtool'

Of course, if you have the energy to do a full 'make -k check' on this
system, that's great, too.  But it will take long, and in case you're
running Vista, it will be interactive, too.  :-/

Thanks,
Ralf
