automake already suports AM_MAINTAINER_MODE, that does something
similar, but it's deprecated because it was found to be more trouble
than advantage, so I'd rather not install this. The current version
verification, and the future one that will be introduced in automake
should take care of that. Distributions (snapshots and releases) will
come with all files up-to-date, so that no tool should be needed.

Do you mean, with --disable-shared, right? And do you really mean
that telling libtool to build old libs for convenience libraries does
fix the problem? Thank you so much, but I need ChangeLog entries to
install your patch, as well as new entries for README and
doc/PLATFORMS. Will you please post a complete patch for libtool to
bug-libtool@gnu.org? Thanks in advance.

Which source file fails to find it? I can't seem to reproduce this
problem here.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here.
