Peter, I'm waiting for (a) upstream inclusion in case of automake, (b) for
some comment on upstream libtool bug (and patch).

With autotools, it is always risky to patch downstream .. because the changes
we make downstream will affect not only Fedora (via 'make dist' you could
produce broken tarballs for everybody).

And note, even if I backpatch fixes from upstream, the warning will still
exist until we run autoreconf in each affected package. Give me a day or two,
I pinged upstream once more.

Also, there is a workaround mentioned in thread [1] (to specify ARFLAGS &
AR_FLAGS to 'cr').
