Clearly not, or it wouldn't have failed to build on mips and mipsel. There is nothing "perfectly working" about that version of libtool, and moreover, its effects are not limited to the mips architectures -- as the obscenely long list of library dependencies of the gnucash package are almost certainly also caused by use of this old, buggy version of libtool. Let me know if you would like help updating this package to use libtool 1.5 (and preferably getting that change pushed upstream). This probably requires updating to autoconf2.5 at the same time, but should not require changing the version of automake you're using. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
