Ah.. yes, I remember now. python (arch: all) tends to depend on specific
python2.3 (arch: any) versions so the builds often go obsolete.

I'll add your package when I get a minute.

Sure, but please use the latest upstream version with the "gcc-snapshot"

and probably updating libtool in GCC sources also.

For a working libtool, only the latest upstream CVS (HEAD) is expected to fit.
