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

[Kurt@OpenLDAP.org]

The provided patch does nothing to upgrade ltmain.sh and,
more importantly, configure.in and *.m4 files, to support
a more modern libtool version.  Hence, the patch cannot
be accepted.

However, this ITS can remain open as a request to upgrade
the build environment to support a more modern libtool
version.  Unfornutely, that is not all that easy (otherwise
it would have been done long ago).
