Libtool 1.5 messes up cross-compilation

[Dalibor Topic]

Hi,

we've recently had a bug report about cross compiling kaffe for 
arm-linux. It turned out that libtool was picking the wrong libjpeg 
library, the one from the host system instead of the one from the target 
system. See the end of 
http://www.kaffe.org/pipermail/kaffe/2003-July/042988.html for a 
detailed bug report.

Apparently other have come accross this problem before. See this thread 
between H.J.Lu and  Guido Draheim : 
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2001-10/msg00121.html . That 
was about 2 years ago. The thread petered out with a preliminary patch 
to fix the bug, available here: 
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2001-10/msg00127.html . Before 
I try to use it in kaffe, I'd like to know if this patch been reviewed 
or has it just dropped silently to the floor?

cheers,
