Without symbol renaming or special versioning, this would introduce 
two sources of the same symbols in the same library/program.  That 
seems risky.

Probably you could set the related autoconf cache variables before the 
tests are run so that they are already assumed to have failed.

If this is done, then it seems that care should be taken to rename 
libtool's version so that it won't conflict with the glibc versions.
