[PATCH] for libtool: link: warning: ... sems to be moved

It comes from the libtool package.  Indeed it's NOT under revision control,
so this patch doesn't help -- we can't patch "libtoolize".  You should contact
the libtool people and get them to update it upstream.

Thank you for this work, but I'm afraid that there just isn't much we can
do with your patch at this point.
