perhaps start it fixing on FreeBSD and then merge it upstream to FSF
for the next release ?

From what I had read in this thread can someone of you with more
knowledge about all this please open one/some PRs that we get following
fixed/corrected ?

	- libtool / dlopen
	- /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.ports.mk USE_LIBTOOL comments: -- option
	- porters guide (more detailed expanation about USE_LIBTOOL)
	  and perhaps other docimentation (gnome)

a) stating the problem
b) stating status quo and what poerters like me should do / consider ?
c) to get a solution working for all

Many thanks in advance.
