The Libtool package contains the GNU generic library support script. It wraps the complexity of using shared libraries in a consistent, portable interface.
Update helper scripts to allow compilation on loongarch:
tar xf ../config-20210826.tar.xz --strip-components=1 -C build-aux
Prepare Libtool for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr
Compile the package:
make
To test the results, issue:
make check

The test time for libtool can be reduced significantly on a system with multiple cores. To do this, append TESTSUITEFLAGS=-j<N> to the line above. For instance, using -j4 can reduce the test time by over 60 percent.
Five tests are known to fail in the LFS build environment due to a circular dependency, but all tests pass if rechecked after automake is installed.
Install the package:
make install
Remove a useless static library:
rm -fv /usr/lib/libltdl.a
