libtool broken in kdebase 2.2.0

[Jack Howarth]

Hello,
   I have noticed that on debian ppc sid we
have problems building kdebase 2.2.0 because
of flaws in the libtool included there. The
problem is that the libtool is linking with
--nostdlib but fails to pass -lgcc along for
the link. This results in shared libs with
an undefined symbol for __cmpdi2 which would
be resolved by linking in libgcc. I would like
to here some suggestions on how to address this
by a patch to libtool so we don't have to hack
the Makefile.am's in kdebase. I have been told
that libtool should be smart enough to figure
out from gcc -v that it needs to link in libgcc.
Thanks in advance for any help in resolving this
issue.
