I've reviewed them and they look safe:

- --- snip ---
New in 1.5.24: 2007-06-17; CVS version 1.5.23c, Libtool team:
* Initial support for Interix newer than version 3.
* Use getconf ARG_MAX to find the max command line length.
* Bug Fixes.

New in 1.5.23b: 2007-02-17; CVS version 1.5.23a, Libtool team:
* New link flag `-static-libtool-libs' to provide the semantics that
  `-static' had between 1.5 and before 1.5.22.
* Initial support for RDOS.
* Fix regression on DragonFly that disabled library hardcoding.
* Fix regression on OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly, and other systems
  with hardcode_direct=yes that wrongly removed paths to uninstalled
  libraries during link mode.
* Let libltdl know that FreeBSD and DragonFly dlopen causes dependent
  modules to be loaded.  This fixes excessive load times for modules
  with large library dependency graphs.
* Fix error with -version-info on systems with version_type=none, such
  as BeOS.
* Initial support for the Sun compiler suite on GNU/Linux.
* Improved support for GNU/kFreeBSD and GNU/NetBSD.
* Search paths with GCC on multilib systems like x86_64 have been fixed.
* The libtool --tag argument which has been supported since version 1.5
  is documented now.
* Fix regression in libltdl symbol exports on Cygwin. Side effect:
  LT_GLOBAL_DATA and LT_SCOPE are now explicitly defined as
  declspec(dllexport), bypassing auto-export logic on Cygwin.
  This tracks existing behavior on MinGW.
* Bug Fixes.

FWIW, the update to 1.5.24 didn't cause any regression on "my"
Linux/Solaris/HP-UX/AIX nightly build farm machines. And trunk even just
passed "make test" on Robert's OS X 10.4.9 box!

I'm leaning towards doing the move.
