upstream libtool is usuable for uClibc atm without patches ... as long as they 
continue to mark linux as pass_all, we dont need them to change anything ... 
older versions of libtool though need to be patched as they try to run file 
tests on glibc-specific libraries to detect shared lib support

so just getting gcc fixed is acceptable at this time
