I think you're looking for this thread:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2006-03/msg00005.html

Somebody needs to convince the authors of the patches (Cc:ed) to assign
or disclaim copyright, or rewrite the patches, or convince me (or
another Libtool maintainer, FWIW) that the changes are trivial enough
not to warrant a copyright assignment.

(And no, changing
| -  dynamic_linker='GNU/Linux ld.so'
| +  dynamic_linker='GNU ld.so'

for GNU/Linux is not ok for Libtool, as suggested in Petr's patch.)

Cheers,
Ralf
