Re: (ITS#3928) Libtool relinks overlays with bad library paths during install target

[Kurt@OpenLDAP.org]

I note that for this patch to be at all useful, it needs
to be against latest HEAD.   I also have doubts that
its as simple as some make this out to be.  I spent
a better part of a long weekend on this before realizing
that many of our existing macros were unusable.  Last
night, in response to Howard's recent -devel post,
tried the same basic steps you did (though I didn't
run automake and did run autoheader) and got a quite
useless configure script.   But I am quite willing to be
proven wrong!  I, too, wouldn't mind seeing an upgrade
to the latest libtool.  And the latest autoconf might
be useful as well (as they improved a number of the
macros).
