Package: libtool
Version: 2.4.6
Severity: minor

The names icc and ecc in libtool.m4 (version # serial 58 LT_INIT) in libtool version 2.4.6 (=the current package in openSUSE) are no longer complete, because for the intel2024.0 compiler suite (OneAPI) the compilers are named 
   icpx icx icx-cc icx-cl ifx ifort
See the associations with the various languages in 
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/dpcpp-cpp-compiler/developer-guide-reference/2024-2/invoke-the-compiler.html

There is no icc or ecc in that list, but most likely there are still projects where the Intel compilers are icc or ecc, so their probably should remain in the wild-card cases.

Proposal: extend the case-switches near lines 4696 and 5196 of libtool.m4 to include wildcards so these 6 compiler variants are also recognized.

I updated the development branch with a patch for this. After a couple
of weeks and before the next release, it should migrate to master.
