The version in GCC is actually newer than libtool 1.4.x; it's an old
snapshot of the CVS tree that will eventually become libtool 1.5 (/me
wonders if 1.5 is out and I didn't notice :-), back from when it still
didn't require autoconf 2.5x.
Switching to autoconf 2.5x is necessary before we can upgrade to
libtool CVS mainline; I've been trying to find time to work on this,
but it's been nearly impossible :-(
I've got initial good results in host tools (but not target libraries)
about two weeks ago, when I found some spare minutes to give this a
try, but it never went further than that :-(
