 Ok, thanks for the report. BTW what's the current policy w.r.t. libtools
version in Gnome ? It seems that we use ltconfig, which in turn regenerate
the libtools files but even the gnome-core and gnome-libs seems to
use the version 1.2b :

---- from ltconfig -----
# Constants:
PROGRAM=ltconfig
PACKAGE=libtool
VERSION=1.2b
------------------------

  I would rather keep the version the same as the other packages, and
we got horror stories in the kaffe developement list with attempts to
upgrade/move to the most recent libtools (I don't say it's libtool fault,
just that it wasn't easy for them ...).

  So, should I upgrade, should i wait for Gnome as a whole to upgrade,
what do people think ?
