1.4.3 solved it in a different way, using a patch based either
partially or fully on work done by Ossama Othman (I think). It adds an
argument "-inst-prefix-dir" that gets passed to libtool during the relink
that happens during install. It all happens automatically, so there's
nothing new that a package builder needs to worry about.
1.4.3 has been working relatively well for me, for the majority of
packages I've built with it. I use BuildRoot installs exclusively.
