This should be OK, because mdate-sh should cope with a month on
any position as long as both commands output the same format.

I notice that libtool-1.5.12 does not use the version of
mdate-sh that comes with Automake 1.9.4.  It would be nice to
try this one first.

If this does not help, please run it with `sh -x' so we can see
what happens.
