Why? An option to stop if two_level namespace can't be built, I can see 
as a good thing for people porting stuff to darwin, however some stuff 
is quite happy being flat, even if it only missing the usual environ 
symbol, and imo, libtool shouldn't die by default.

The default should be to continue if possible unless told otherwise, 
the fewer people who have to add custom flags and options the better.
