I absolutely agree, but we still have to work around this problem for
the 1.4.* and the upcoming 1.5 branch, as I don't recall anyone fixing
this yet.

I was asking because I wanted to know if we should be pulling up the
--cplusplus stuff in pkglibtool into libtool, or if we should just
leave all the C++ packages to use pkglibtool for now.
