Heh... just need the ltmain.sh part.  Use filterdiff from patchutils:

zcat libtool_1.4.3-2.diff.gz | filterdiff -i \*ltmain.sh

Patch attached.  It just patches ltmain.sh... I haven't looked to see if
there are other related fixes.

Notice also the "exit 1" vs "continue" when a relink fails... is there a
good reason not to exit?  It does leave the -already-installed- files
broken if the relink fails, which can easily be missed unless you know
to scan install log files for it.
