My system has slowed to a dog lately, and I found the culprit: libtool. In "top", the process "sh" sits there for ages upon ages -- many hours (possibly days) total during builds. I almost never see gcc. When I see what process is running "sh", it is libtool.
You need to create a portable C version of libtool. Libtool has become an abomination before I even know what it is. I don't care what it is or what it accomplishes; I'm sure it's important, but whatever it is, it can be done in C, rather than shell scripts. I skimmed the home page. It said portable. C is portable. Do it in C. I'm sure C is more portable than sh. Regardless of how religiously and/or politically correct C vs. sh is, libtool cannot any longer be in sh because it is way, way, way, way, way, way too slow.
