ltwrappers are just replacing the old wrappers AFAIK, and those are
indeed needed by the MSVC patches, so that premise has already changed.

If you can't be bothered to cooperate with those patches then I can
switch to arguing that cccl (wrapper for MSVC) is supported by libtool.
When you use cccl with a contemporary MSVC, MSVC will create the
manifest for you. You should not overwrite the manifest generated
by MSVC in that case.

So again, please special case this to only be active for gcc (and
whatever else needs it).

Cheers,
Peter
