The only person who can answer that is you: test it with a standard=20
libtool and tell us if it works.
I know we made some changes to libtool as well as some backporting of=20
their newer versions. Moreover, we did include support for other systems=20
upon request. So, you could send in your patches to admin/ so that we=20
update it for newer releases.
(Even though branches/KDE/3.5/kde-common should be frozen now)

Again, you tell us if it works.
As a note of caution, I tell you touching libtool is opening a can of=20
worms. You may come to regret you ever touched it. (I have)
