In order to reduce the number of dependencies needed to build host-libgtk2 (in which a few tools are needed to build the target libgtk2), we apply a patch to libgtk2 configure.in file. Applying a patch to the configure.in obviously means that host-libgtk2 needs to be auto-reconfigured. However, libgtk2 2.22 now requires libtool 2.2, and we only have libtool 1.5. So unless we upgrade libtool to 2.2, it is not possible to autoreconfigure libgtk2 and therefore not possible to apply a patch to its configure.in file. We *really* need to take a decision on the libtool stuff. I've sent a summary of the two proposals and would like to see some more reactions to it in order to move forward on this topic. Thanks!
