OK, I have this down a bit more solidly now.
I'm attaching a shell script which takes a kaffe-1.0.7
source tarball and produces kaffe-1.0.7-libtools-1.4e.tar.gz

It doesn't require libtools at all, as it grabs libtools
straight from cvs.  It does require up-to-date automake and
autoconf, though.  I'm posting it in case anyone else
needs to cross-compile kaffe; it's hard with the older
autotools.  (I am *so* looking forward to the future,
when everyone will have autoconf-2.5x, automake-1.7x,
and libtool-1.5x... and gcc-3.3... all of the above will
make life much easier for cross-development.)

I should pick up that patch, I guess, but I haven't
been bothered by the entries you're talking about yet.
