Hm, I'm not sure if it is a good idea to do a mass bug filing when there is no
libtool version available yet, which fixes the problem.
I'm also not a big fan of running autoreconf during build, as this will blow up
the diff.gz, so I guess I'd have to say WONTFIX for now.

Imho such changes are best pushed upstream aggressively so they will trickle
down eventually.

Another idea would, that binutils-gold changes its version string in a way, that
existing libtool scripts will detect it as a libtool implementation which
supports anon_versioning. This way you wouldn't have to change hundreds of
existing packages.

Cheers,
Michael
