Subject: libtool 2.4.3 breaks --program-prefix=g 
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2014 23:09:20 -0400

   The new libtool 2.4.3 release breaks the --program-prefix=g configure option.
On x86_64-apple-darwin14, executing...

./configure --program-prefix=g --prefix=/Users/howarth/dist
make
make install

results in a file named 'libtoolize' being installed in /Users/howarth/dist/bin
rather than the expected 'glibtoolize' as occurs with the previous libtool 2.4.2
release.
    Hopefully this bug isn't being migrated down to configure files generated
with this release.

Thanks for the report. Already fixed in master which I'll release as 2.4.4 in another week or so, and it's just a missed $(transform) invocation in the custom libtoolize install rule, so has no effect on downstream Libtool bundling packages.

Cheers,
Gary
