The important thing is that, one day a day will come where the old
libtool in GCC is thrown away in favor of a current version. When
that happens, we don't want to lose functionality. So what you need
to do is develop an equivalent patch for current libtool, get that
accepted by libtool upstream, and then your patch for our old libtool
can go into GCC CVS.
If equivalent functionality is already in current libtool, then all
you have to do is tell us so.
