Bug#718893: RFS: coinutils/2.9.4-1 [ITA] -- CoinOR base library
Besides the obvious LT name, I've done some more digging that leads me
to suspect that the issue is the version of libtool. I was able to
install autoconf 2.59 and automake 1.9.6, but libtool 1.5.22 (8 years
old) is not available. How should we proceed at this point?
