[Buildroot] buildroot-libtool.patch problem

[William Wagner <will_wagner@carallon.com>]

When updating a number of packages I am running into problems with the 
libtool patch. The updated version of the package I am trying to build 
has a newer version of ltmain.sh (2.2.6) for which the patch in 
buildroot does not apply.

Example output of it failing is:
for file in config.guess config.sub; do for i in $(find 
/home/willw/martin/glowworm/controller/buildroot/build/host-xlib_libfontenc-1.0.5 
-name $file); do cp package/gnuconfig/$file $i; done; done

I have been fixing this by setting LIBTOOL_PATCH = NO which seems to 
work, although I am not certain if some of the changes in the patch are 
still needed.

Can anyone offer some insight into this? Do we need to use a different 
version of the patch depending on the version of ltmain.sh?

Thanks
Will
