I haven't looked closely at the issue and probably can't for a while yet,
but there seems to be a regression on at least Tru64 vs. libtool 1.5.16.
I never built 1.5.18 so I don't have that as a comparison point.

On Tru64 5.1b with the vendor toolchain, libtool 1.5.16 passes all 103
tests.  On the same platform and toolchain, 1.5.20 says it passed all 103
tests, but a couple of the tests generate suspicious output (that wasn't
present with 1.5.16) that seems to indicate that the test probably failed
but the test suite didn't realize it.

Here's the failing output for 1.5.20:

PASS: demo-shared.test
PASS: demo-make.test
PASS: demo-exec.test
PASS: demo-inst.test
PASS: hardcode.test

Note that I normally build libtool with one local patch for Tru64, but
I have verified that the test output is the same both with and without
that patch.
