Sorry, that file didn't help me. Real programs/packages have to stand behind 
these virtual virtual entities (like glibc behind libc). But where do they 
have to reside?

Thanks, that helped a few steps further.

Now an error is thrown when making libtool-native "source directory already 
configured; run 'make distclean'". Of course it's configured, that was the 
very previous step.
That's not funny.

Speaking of not funny: Some script or what definitely wants to call /bin/cp 
(that's BSD's cp) while gcp is (ln'ed as cp) first in path. Is it possible 
that call is hardcoded somewhere?
