What I meant to say was "and if you don't want libtool updated..."

OK.  I don't want to update newlib to current tools; that would take  
too long and I don't have the ability to test the result.  Nor am I  
very enthusiastic about updating, for instance, gdb.

I guess that means that I should just work around the existing  
libtool, or if necessary use the new version in just the directories  
that need it.  Yuk.
