This is completely another problem. Indeed it would be better patching
in order to use the system library instead of statically linking a local
copy. I suspect it is due to the need to have in sync liblt and the
local libtool stuff, to avoid breakages from time to time when
system libtool is updated. What I see is that this is a quite common
choice by upstreams...
