Sorry, but I didn't find a reference to your patch.
Otherwise I wouldn't have submitted an almost-
identical one.
I'm doing the same procedure you describe with
packages using libtool/autoconf/automake, but that's
quite unsatisfactory. Additionally, tarballs created for
distribution have the wrong settings in their configure
script causing installs on Tru64 to fail without
modification.
I'd really welcome your patch to be included in libtool,
too.
Burkhard.

Burkhard-
I'm not sure why I received email about this, but I'm
guessing because
I submitted a nearly-identical patch to the libtool-patches
mailing list
in July, and you found a reference to that?
Your patch looks fine (it's identical to the one I've been
using for
several months on Tru64 5.1, with projects like gnumeric).
I'm not sure
if that patch was ever applied to the HEAD branch of
libtool, but I guess
I'm hopeful either my patch or yours would make it into
libtool at some
point.
Until it does, my solution has been to have a copy of
libtool with this
and other patchs applied on my Tru64 development box, and
then use
rm -f libtool ltmain.sh ltconfig aclocal.m4
libtoolize --copy --force
aclocal
autoupdate
autoconf
automake
for any package that ships older/less-functional libtool
bits.
You're right that the dependencies between
libtool/autoconf/automake
are a pain in the butt, but in my experience most of the
problems relate
to macros that autoconf will no longer accept. libtool and
automake
are generally not the problem.
