Summary: Update libtool.m4
Status: Open
Type: Feature/Change Request
Package: *Compile Issues
Operating System: Irrelevant
PHP Version: Next Minor Version

New Comment:
The bundled libtool should simply be removed from php, and libtool listed as a dependency. Any
system that can compile php will be able to fetch a late-model libtool.
This has been a bug for years:
configure says:
creating libtool
appending configuration tag "yes" to libtool
configure: error: Unsupported tag name: yes
It means that nobody (on FreeBSD, at least) can just download the source code and compile it.

Description:
------------
We should investigate whether updating our bundled libtool.m4 causes problems, and if it
doesn't, we should do it to avoid hacks like the fix for bug #70370 and bug #67091, since the
FreeBSD 10 issues are fixed upstream.
