Any objection to pointing the maintainer at the solaris-userland patch and letting them know that that patch is beneficial for both commercial Solaris and for OpenIndiana? I would like to get one of the patches into upstream, and it seems easiest to vote for the solaris-userland one as acceptable to both OSes.
A possible complexity is that contributions to libtool which are more than a few lines (non-trivial) need to have signed copyright-assignment paperwork with the FSF. This is because the FSF is the copyright holder for libtool.
Due to this, it may be necessary to find the original author and get them to go through the paperwork process (if they have not), or have someone (who already has done the paperwork) write a similar patch.
If the original author is "Oracle" then Oracle can assure that the paperwork is in place and submit the patch.
