Let's take a look at the simple ones:

This patch shouldn't be needed any more with 2.2.2.

Shouldn't be needed any more either.

Well, don't come crying for bad performance to us if you do things like
this.  Letting libtool infer the tag is rather expensive, at least
relatively, for 2.2.2 on modern systems where there are few other forks
needed.

> uclibc.patch - Tweaks to libtool.m4 to support uclibc

If this happens to be needed for 2.2.2 as well, I'd like this one
submitted to libtool-patches, ideally including a ChangeLog entry
and testsuite results for this system, thanks.

Cheers,
