I can take care of that. I've forwarded this upstream already. The best
option would be having a fixed libtool available, or trying to use the
backported patch in the CVE. Information on fixing this is quite sparse,
unfortunately.

I hope that there will be some more information in the thread on d-d. I
can take care of it this evening. If you want to go faster, feel free to
do so. You don't need to ask for permission. We're a team, aren't we? ;)

Best regards
Manuel
