sorry for the delay ... we've done some work in our toolchain and i'm not sure 
we need to bother updating libtool anymore

we've changed the tuple from bfin-uclinux to bfin-linux-uclibc so we can keep 
FLAT and FDPIC ELF separate and because bfin-linux-uclibc is now dedicated to 
FDPIC ELF, we've simply moved -mfdpic into the gcc specs

since the linux handling was made generic sometime ago (linux-gnu* -> linux*), 
linux-uclibc toolchains get all the benefits of libtool for free
