The only change I'd consider making is using a patched version
of libtool for the GTK+ distribution with the fix noted in the bug 
report until it is fixed in a libtool release.

The GTK+ source code is correct, so adding something like a 
wrapper function isn't acceptable. (*)

    which means we couldn't do it for the forseeable future
    anyways.
