You're patching the .inc file here so this dependency is being applied
to multiple different libtools. Can you perhaps explain the problem you
were seeing with a step by step how to reproduce the problem?

I'd like to understand the real problem here, I don't doubt it exists
but I'm not sure this is the correct fix.

Richard
