I have noticed that too, but never had time to look into it, so thanks.

Would you please report that on bug-libtool?

Why not:

AT_CHECK([cat `cat stdout` <<_EOF >configure.in
...
EOF
])

to save on cat processes (it's not every day you see a valid use of two
cat processes in the same command line ;).

Beyond that, it looks good to me.  Go ahead and commit; if there's any
fallout with failures due to really old libtool, we still have some time
before the next release to find and flush them out.
