In that case, indeed, it was libtool's fault. This was different,
IMO, even though we can hopefully work around the issue in libtool as
well. Sorry that I wasn't clear. And it was really meant as a joke.
I hear all sorts of stuff about libtool all the time, and I've managed
to not get offended or anything. It's just that it is such a complex
piece of software that it's understandable that people prefer not to
delve into it to figure out where exactly the problem is, and assume
it's in libtool, which, unfortunately, is often true.

Thanks; it is, indeed :-)
