Package: libtool

There has been ongoing discussion on the Ganglia-developers list about 
using a host running Debian lenny to bootstrap the project and generate 
the release tarball.  The tarball must work on a range of hosts - 
various versions of Linux, Solaris, BSD, AIX, Cygwin, etc

aclocal, automake, libtoolize are all run on the Debian machine.

configure && make is executed on a Cygwin 1.5 host

make fails with errors like `Xgcc: command not found'

Looking in Google, various bug reports against a range of apps recommend 
modifying ./libtool to include the line

echo="echo"

and this appears to fix the problem.

$ uname -a
Linux lt2 2.6.26-2-amd64 #1 SMP Fri Aug 14 07:12:04 UTC 2009 x86_64 
GNU/Linux

Package versions on Debian:

autoconf 2.61-8
automake 1:1.10.1-3
libtool 1.5.26-4
m4 1.4.11-1

I noticed libtool 2.2.7a was on the Cygwin host but removed it and tried 
the whole exercise again, it still fails in the same way.
