The git.lttng.org packages lttng-ust and lttng-tools have a configure option 
named disable-libtool-linkdep-fixup.  The 'linkdep fixup', if I understand 
correctly, serves to fix a problem with the version of the libtool package used 
with Debian systems (and possibly others), as described in 
http://bugs.lttng.org/issues/321.  The fixup in question consists of changing 
occurrences of the 'link_all_deplibs=no' flag in config/libtool.m4 to 
'link_all_deplibs=unknown' instead.

The default value of the option is 'yes' (re: configure.ac), which means the 
fixup is applied.  Setting the option to another value, such as 'no', means the 
fixup is not applied.

Why then is the option named *disable*-libtool-linkdep-fixup?  Shouldn't it be 
named *enable*-libtool-linkdep-fixup instead?
