Speaking form a cross-development background, libtool is a nightmare.  It
totally flakes when it comes to doing the right thing in cross-compiling. 
I can't count the number of times I've had to strip libtool from a program
in my work....  There are generally other ways of handling things that
don't require libtool and still work just as well....  Just my $0.02.

Later,
David
