[gentoo-dev] [PATCH] libtool.eclass: Have elibtoolize explicitly apply configure patches

[Michael Haubenwallner]

Hi all,

as you might or might not be aware of, elibtoolize() originally was for applying
patches to ltmain.sh, but now also applies patches to configure scripts.

The problem is that finding configure scripts to be patched is based on where
ltmain.sh is found in ${S}, wild guessing that ltmain.sh may reside in subdirectories,
trying ./configure, ../configure and ../../configure inconsistently.

But especially with gettext, this wild guess does not identify each configure script.

Attached patch drops that wild guesses, explicitly applying configure-patches to
configure scripts, while still explicitly applying ltconf.sh-patches to ltconf.sh.

WDYT?

Thank you!
