Really?  Wow!  This is very good news, indeed.  I'm quite surprised!
I suppose we could arrange for AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to pre-pend
'${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/sh} `pwd`/libtool ' to ac_link, then?

Modifying CC or CXX doesn't look like a good idea to me, if they're
going to be AC_SUBSTed.

Modifying ac_link such that it would compile without libtool, then
link with it.  I'm very surprised doing it in a single pass worked.
Maybe by accident, just because it happened to pass the source
filename through to the link command, which wouldn't have worked in
case the linker were called directly, instead of using the compiler
driver?
