libtool relink patch for non-root install

[David I. Lehn]

While doing Debian packaging for GStreamer I hit the problem of the
libtool 1.4b relink code not working when you install somewhere other
than /.

After some searching I found RedHat has a patched 'fixed-ltmain.sh' file
for gtk packaging based on 1.4(?) libtool ltmain.sh:
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.3/binary/RedHat-7.1/SRPMS/gtk2-1.3.6-1.src.rpm

Many attempts at other work arounds failed.  It appears a patch like
this is -required- to get relinking to work when not installing to /.
In my case I use 'make install prefix=...' and this patch allows that to
work.  Attached is the patch relative to ltmain.sh in Debian libtool
1.4b package.

Thanks goes to RedHat hackers for this one.
