Robert, you have added some very good information to the mix.
In fact, here is what I immediately thought upon reading above:

  Yikes!  I didn't even know there was an ltconfig.in.  In the gcc
  source tree, we only have ltconfig.  ltconfig makes no mention that
  it is generated from another file thus I didn't even know I was
  making life hard for libtool maintainers when I sent patches against
  ltconfig.

In light of the fact that the gcc source tree doesn't contain primary
libtool files, I see your point.  However, we should still consider
tracking libtool and other external sources in the gcc source tree via
vendor branches instead of plain checkins.
