Yes, it does not have a configure script, and invokes "libtool" directly from
the makefile.  It seems like ‘we’ will have to patch libtomsmath appropriately.
I might eventually look into the issue, but probably not in the near future.

Let's stop CC'ing libtool <at> gnu.org; this issue isn't really a bug in libtool.
