| The fix for this has been merged into the RELENG_4 branch. 

suggests that the change (to give LD_LIBRARY_PATH highest precedence)
was in version 4.6 (which came out June 2002).  Can anybody confirm
this?  Also, I don't know when they stopped using freebsdelf as a name,
so I'm just guessing from version 4 maybe?

Dave, could you try this patch on CVS branch-1-5 Libtool?
(there is another related fix in the branch, newer than 1.5.20)

Thanks,
Ralf
