Looking at libtool.m4, it looks like the only difference between the
libtool version and the standard version was in setting
lt_cv_deplibs_check_method. The orignal libtool.m4 has a case statement
for "linux-gnu*" and the libtool one changed it to be
"linux-gnu*|linux-newlib*".
The latest libtool just checks "linux*" so this local libtool.m4 change
shouldn't be needed if newlib uses the latest libtool.
