The ‘libtool’ script provided by the ‘libtool’ package is usually
unused.  The modus operandi for Libtool is that packages generate their
own ‘libtool’ script at configure time, tailored for the given
configuration options, based on a template installed by ‘libtoolize’
(itself invoked by ‘autoreconf’).

Perhaps the ‘libtomsmath’ package is doing something unusual?
