Peter,

Actually, I already have a patch. Please see attached file. It is very simple, 
if module opening fails, in addition to "Failed" message, it prints out last 
error message. 
So far it is only a spot where I found useful to add verbose error reporting.

Attachment: libtool_debug_error_reporting.patch
Description: libtool_debug_error_reporting.patch
