Hello Josh, can we limit followups to a subset of this impressive array of mailing lists? Say, to <libtool@gnu.org>? That would be readable at <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.general/126905>. Thanks.

Curious: can you please state which Libtool version you timed against, and if not 2.2.x, redo timing against 2.2.2? Not that I expect wonders, but I expect something better than what you measured.
