+Tag: ancient-libtool
+Severity: warning
+Check: build-systems/autotools/libtool
+Explanation: The referenced file seems to be from a libtool version older than
+ 1.5.2-2. This might lead to build errors on some newer architectures not
+ known to this libtool.
+ .
+ Please ask your upstream maintainer to re-libtoolize the package or do it
+ yourself if there is no active upstream. You will also need to run
+ Autoconf to regenerate the configure script. Usually it is best to do
+ this during the build by depending on autoconf, libtool, and automake if
+ it is used, and then running:
+ .
+ autoreconf -i --force
+ .
+ before running configure. Depending on how old the package is, this may
+ require additional modifications to <code>configure.ac</code> or
+ <code>configure.in</code> or other work. If you do this during the build,
+ determine which files it will add or update and be sure to remove those
+ files in the clean target.
+ .
+ If you have fixed architecture-specific issues with minimal patches,
+ rather than updating libtool, and verified that it builds correctly,
+ please override this tag. Lintian will not be able to verify that.
