Bug#756641: gstreamer0.10: update libtool.m4 since libtoolized is ignored during autoreconf

Package: gstreamer0.10
Version: 0.10.36-1.3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: debian-powerpc at lists.debian.org

Dear Maintainer,

During gsrreamer0.10 build, the autoreconf is invoked, but not the libtoolized,
as the following command is executed during the beginning of the /debian/rules:

	# make autoreconf not call libtoolize since we ship a patch for ltmain.sh
	export LIBTOOLIZE=true

which keeps the libtool.m4 package outdated, which causes a FTBFS in new arches
(as ppc64el).

So, if libtoolized is not updated, we need to keep an updated version on the
package. There are two solutions that should work:

a) Copy the /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 to m4/libtool.m4 during the build

b) update the package's m4/libtool.m4 with the most recent libtool.m4

I am providing a patch for the latter, which is basically a patch from the
package's libtool.m4 and the latest /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4

Let me know if you want a different solution.

Thank you
Breno
