Hi,

No, running ‘autoreconf’ would complicate things.

But if it happens that the same effect could be achieved by modifying a
single ‘ltmain.sh’ file, as was done in
b6094b1f0a6760b9f5296364cf5edb8a2e64953c, that’s better than modifying
all the ‘configure’ scripts.

Maybe it’s not possible though, in which case the patch you posted is
perfect.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
