What does LIBTOOL_DEPS contains? It's unclear to me when libtool needs to be rebuilt and how me managed without such rule so far. Except in the Libtool package itself, I believe libtool.m4 does change when ltmain.sh changes, doesn't it? So libtool would get updated as a side-effect of rebuilding/rerunning configure. I have a small problem with using $(LIBTOOL) as a target of a rule, because many people have overwritten LIBTOOL in they Makefile.am to insert a --tag option. Also such a rule would be triggered only if something depends on $(LIBTOOL), which I believe is not the case (same problem with --tag here). Is such a dependency desirable? IOW should every libtool target be recompiled whenever config.status changes? -- Alexandre Duret-Lutz
