What you should do before you submit a libtool patch: 1) Get a non-OS X box, and install the latest libtool source on that 2) Run the test suite and verify that all tests pass 3) Apply your patch, run the test suite still passes all test 4) Congrats, you are ready to submit it! Also, you failed to mention against which version (1.4.0, 1.4.1, 1.4.2, CVS?) your patch is made.
