 Separate from what Joerg mentioned, a few other things.
 
 This is evidently a duplicate of PR pkg/56843.
 http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=56843
 Note 56843 was filed when libtool 2.4.6 was what was in both pkgsrc and
 the Fedora 35 release itself. Also, tnn@ and I cannot reproduce this on
 Fedora 39 with 2.4.7 from pkgsrc. So it seems there must be more to
 this.
 
 AIUI, 2.4.7 is a stable release; it's been in Fedora since version 36,
 is in Debian Stable, etc. I imagine GNU just forgot to update their web
 page. The GNU announcement notes it's stable.
