I don't understand the solution either, but it's fixed in newer
versions of libtool (hence the new vte in undstable, which uses the
new libtool, doesn't need it).

Yuck. The thought at the time was that this patch only affected
compiling of the package to which it was applied, and did not
propagate any runtime difference. If someone with 10.3 could verify
that this patch doesn't cause trouble there, we can copy the patch to
10.3 and rev-up both to make everything work easily.
