I think I have used `make uninstall', but I may be wrong.

The problem is that I have installed 2.2 and then the versions patched
as you indicated on the same path.  So, even if something that belonged
to 2.1.b was still there when I say 2.2's `make check' failing, now it
has been overwritten.

Things work with 2.2 + your patches.  However, I am of course willing
to test with 2.3a.  Where is it?  I have looked in

  http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/

and

  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/

but could not find it.
Cheers,
