More issues: - the part of ltmain starting with # Collect and forward deplibs of preopened libtool libs
will source .la files but looks like it mistreats = in $dependency_libs - is it intended that the = remain in the .la files after these are moved to their final location on the host system? Or should --mode=finish remove them? - should we provide a minimal patch for vendors 2.2.10 (or earlier versions, maybe even 1.5.x) that makes libtool not barf upon = in .la files, for smoother upgrades (given that 2.2.12 could contain other issues not making for a smooth upgrade path)?
