Hadn't noticed this regression until I was running some things on my
slower Atom laptop today, but thought I'd let you guys know what we're
seeing in our test suite. The project is pacman
(http://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/), the Arch Linux package
manager. I've tried to put together a small test case to show the
difference; a tarball is attached. Extract it and copy your /bin/echo
to .libs/lt-echo and it should work.
I'm noticing the super slow argument parsing when invoking the wrapper
script during our test runs. This particular test is meant to provide
1000 test packages as arguments; it performs fine on our maint branch
but takes forever on master now due to a libtool upgrade.
Here is the output of my test harness/script:
I am not really sure what to do about this, something like:

Will avoid the issue if argv doesn't match *--lt-* (surely the most
common case).
Changing the loop to do something different would undoubtedly impact
other shells, but that being said, it seems likely that bash is one of
the most common shells used for running libtool wrapper scripts :(
Explicitly CCing Ralf for his thoughts.
