slibtool

• LIBTOOL=slibtool should be added to MAKEFLAGS
• /usr/share/libtool vs /usr/share/libtoolize paths
• glibtoolize is not a necessary symlink
• Duplicate the copied macros under a new directory /usr/share/libtool/AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS?
• Officially migrated from midipix.org to foss21.org
• slibtool does not install .la files by default (can be reversed by using clibtool)
• slibtoolize will be provided in the future (either as a mode or a symlink)
• ltdl is no longer needed (it serves to provide a dlopen() functionality on systems which do not offer it, i.e. HP-UX and BeOS)
• libtoolize fails as a symlink to slibtool (several build tools complain e.g. gmp) (since slibtool does not treat libtoolize with the stoolie driver)
• slibtool’s ltmain.sh is broken; provide alternative instead?
• libarchive does not build with slibtoolize or the libtoolize wrapper; only with gnu libtoolize
• Serpent’s space macro patch breaks builds with slibtool-shared-shared not found
