Looking at that, it seems the bootstrap and bootstrap.conf scripts are really old. Can we switch to latest gnulib tools for release and package management? I am doing that for many projects already, with several different ways of using gnulib, so I can assist with that if you want. Do we have any GitLab CI/CD testing for libtool? I can assist with setting that up too, otherwise I won't have a lot of confidence in modifying bootstrap scripts. I suggest not putting .gitlab-ci.yml into libtool itself, but maintain that outside of libtool, to avoid contaminating libtool with gitlab-specific stuff. /Simon
