The xfsprogs package uses libtool for building its objects; no problem there. However, it requires that libtool be installed on the host system during the configure process, but this should not be necessary. The proper way to integrate libtool into a source package includes a copy of the final libtool script itself (not the whole libtool distribution) _into_ the source package, so that the package can be built without the host system needing to have libtool installed.

Can someone look into improving this situation?
