It sounds like you're saying that the libtool patch should already be
committed and running effectively in libtool 2.4.3 or later.

however, debian had libtool 2.4.2-1.11 up until 2016-02-07, when
2.4.6-0.1 entered debian.  But Andreas's bug report of FTBFS on unstable
[0] came 12 days after 2.4.6 entered unstable and 6 days after 2.4.6
transitioned to testing [1].  So something in the libtool upstream
changes either didn't have the desired effect, or something else is
wrong in debian that i'm unaware of.

for now, i've gone ahead with the simple patch (moving EXPORTS to the
first line of the file) for libassuan, but i'll be happy to drop that
patch when libtool is effectively fixed :)
