Thanks! Could you also try HEAD? It's not very clear wether the next release
will be 1.5.1 or 1.6, although 1.6 will be there roughly in a pair of months.

There's also the question that the "gnu*)" test case in libtool.m4 doesn't have
as many defined variables than other GNU-like systems. Comparing to
"kfreebsd*-gnu" and "knetbsd*-gnu", the following are missing:

  shlibpath_overrides_runpath=no
  dynamic_linker='GNU ld.so'

Any comments on this? Perhaps we should ask the libtool maintainers.
