No. It turns off the new-in-Libtool-2.4 support for a --with-sysroot
flag that is not quite compatible with GCC's understanding of same flag.
I offered a wholesale update of Libtool in GCC a little while ago:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-01/msg00580.html
It was not met with enthusiasm (understandably, given the timing).
Testing such an update (including src, and smoke testing Libtool's
testsuite on 20 or so operating systems) usually takes the better part
of a weekend, which is something I cannot in earnest promise for the
next few weekends; I might be able to exchange some testing for a better
flame suite. So *please*, if the RM's reconsider, consider deciding
before Saturday. And yes, there were no Libtool testsuite regressions a
couple of weeks ago, but I need to redo the patches anyway for the
recent FreeBSD 1.x removal patch.
Thanks,
Ralf
