Shell functions could be used in the libtool-portion of the configure
script, the generated libtool, or both. If they are only used in the
configure script, then there is some hope that libtool could be
cross-compiled from a more modern host like:
./configure --host=very-old-os
and be copied to the target for execution. It could also be used as
part of a larger package that supports being cross-compiled.
Does libtool support being cross compiled?
