Actually, it wouldn't. :)

The actual problem is that software packaged with stock Libtool does not
build properly in our multilib build roots. Right now, we have to manually
re-bootstrap several of our packages to use our modified libtool.m4. My goal
is to allow us to stop doing that :)

(I would like to be able to remove the autotools from our build roots
altogether.)


So, instead of a libtool-compile-time option, would it be reasonable to
 a) use an environment variable to set this behavior, or
 b) have Libtool add an option to libtoolized ./configure scripts,
or something else?
