GDB doesn't use libtool, and now uses current autoconf, FYI. I'm
pretty sure I've done everything that would block a libtool update
except for newlib.

I'd earlier sketched out a way to use different libtool in different
directories. I can't find the notes now, but there's one file we'd
have to import from libtool to change a hardwired path, but otherwise
it ought to be quite easy. Then we can switch over one at a time.
Somebody who cares really has to update newlib soon, though!
