>Description:
	pkgsrc/libtool (1.3.4) uses a test for ELFness.  Backwards.

	from ltconfig.in:
	  if echo __ELF__ | $CC -E - | grep __ELF__ >/dev/null; then
	    -- do ELF stuff --     <<<<Heh, we're in a.out land here
	  else
	    -- do a.out stuff --   <<<<and this is ELFland here
	  fi

>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to use libtool-1.3.4
>Fix:
	Add patches/patch-ab:
