(Hi libtool maintainers, at the end of this mail is a patch
for libtool 1.4.3 for aix, you can ignore most of the rest
of this mail, it's just so I get this quicker into Debian.)

Okay... Again for you in long:

I'm building sourcetarballs on Debian.
My sources use libtool.

My sources get used on aix.

Without the patch, the sources will break on aix, beczase
Debian's libtool.m4 is included in my sources and then
breaks them, when used on aix.


BTW: Debian libtool did this before:

http://bugs.debian.org/126666

(appropiate changelog entry:
  * Applied patch from Sebastian Rittau <address@hidden> that
    corrects misnamed plugin modules on Tru64.  Patch has been sent
    upstream.  (Closes: #126666)
)
(Debian doesn't support Tru64?)

The Debian maintainer at that time seemed kind enough to do
the forwarding himself. But I'm now doing that.
