Please demote the libtool-bin build dependency to just libtool. It was
added due to #761767. Back then libosinfo wouldn't build without the
dependency. It seems that libosinfo's build system evolved since then
and no longer needs libtool-bin. I tried reproducing the issue, but my
build was identical to the normal build (excluding timestamps, including
build ids). Thus I think the dependency is now unnecessary.

The dependency is harmful, because:
 * We want to remove libtool-bin from the archive.
 * libtool-bin cannot be used with cross building.

Please consider applying the attached patch.

Helmut
