I fully understand that morally, it's libtool's fault for releasing a program
that didn't correctly divine that gcc 4.3 would change the linker it uses
compared to versions since at least 3.3. Shame on them. Nonetheless, this
change does happen to break any package that shipped using any version of
libtool up to the present. This adds up to rather a lot of free software.
Will there be an easy workaround?
