Currently, and since many years, pkgsrc has patched libtool to simply 'unset' CP, MV & RM This patchset 'fixes' the use as documented, that is to respect the environment if these variables are set, but naturally -- if set -- they will be just the path to the tool and as such can in no way expect that '-f' is specified (which is '--force' under the Gnu flavours of these tools). -- Richard PALO
