Who should copy ltmain.sh? libtool?

[Brent Goodrick]

Shouldn't the libtoolize command within libtool version 1.4.3 copy
ltmain.sh from <libtool_prefix>/share/libtool/ltmain.sh to ./libltdl when the
--ltdl --copy switches are thrown?  If you don't, automake version 1.7
complains. Here is a demonstration of the "bug":

  address@hidden : rm -rf libltdl
  address@hidden : libtoolize --force --ltdl --copy
  Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `make'.
  address@hidden : find libltdl
  libltdl
  libltdl/acinclude.m4
  libltdl/aclocal.m4
  libltdl/config-h.in
  libltdl/configure
  libltdl/configure.in
  libltdl/COPYING.LIB
  libltdl/ltdl.c
  libltdl/ltdl.h
  libltdl/Makefile.am
  libltdl/Makefile.in
  libltdl/README
  libltdl/stamp-h.in
  address@hidden : cd libltdl
  address@hidden : aclocal -I 
/net/lazarus/scratch1/libtool-1.4.3/Linux_2_4_18_3/share/aclocal
  address@hidden : automake --add-missing --copy
  configure.in: installing `./install-sh'
  configure.in: installing `./mkinstalldirs'
  configure.in: installing `./missing'
  configure.in:33: installing `./config.guess'
  configure.in:33: installing `./config.sub'
  configure.in:33: required file `./ltmain.sh' not found

And the fix:

  address@hidden : cp 
/scratch1/libtool-1.4.3/Linux_2_4_18_3/share/libtool/ltmain.sh .
  address@hidden : chmod a+x ltmain.sh
  address@hidden : automake --add-missing --copy

which shows automake not complaining.

Thanks
