libtool in binutils question

[Steve Ellcey]

OK, I am going to try and raise the libtool issue again.  So far all
I've gotten is complete silence from the GCC list so I will try the
binutils list.  Are there any plans to update the version of libtool in
binutils?  It has been 7 months since we took anything from libtool and
they have done some restructuring since then (fewer files are needed).
I have built both binutils and GCC on HP-UX with the latest libtool and
had no problems.  I described the process I followed in
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2001-11/msg00762.html, and while
it did involve using an automake and autoconf newer then binutils (and
GCC) currently require, I had no problems with the build itself.

Please check one of the following:

	[ ] What a brilliant idea, why didn't we think of that.
	[ ] What a stupid suggestion, go away and stop bugging us.
