Kevin was on the right track, that would be a solution... but it's not going to happen any time soon.

A very similar "libtool is broken when cross-compiling" bug was filed over a year ago, and it has yet to be assigned or even verified.

While Kevin's solution may be technically accurate, it's unlikely.

At least not in anything resembling a workable timeframe.

So moving on, what's the workaround we're going to go with?
