I haven't looked closely yet, but I worry about changing the version_type, as it will result in startlingly different output on these platforms for different versions of libtool.
Well, considering that libtool has never really worked correctly on SCO until now, and that by far the largest consumers of libtool were people that used the version that was in my on-the-media gnu tools package that was patched to have version_type=freebsd-elf, I don't think we're in trouble here.
Also, the osf naming just simply didn't conform to SCOs naming "convention" and the patch does, so it would still be a good idea to change, just for consistency. But of course, SCO is as popular as a pork chop in a Synagogue these days so very few people actually care :) The main OS media ships with about 80 libraries that were created with my modified libtool, so keeping compatible with that is pretty important (the libraries in question are the ones people are most likely to want to compile, like gtk, glib, libxml2, expat, png, zlib etc etc).
