That's the problem with libtool - too many versions.  libtool 1.4 does
not have this test, but versions from the multi-language branch (as
used by the gcc and gdb/binutils trees) do.  I'll submit a patch against
CVS HEAD later today.

Will do - does this seem acceptable to you?

 AC_DEFUN([AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_MAX_CMD_LEN],
 [max_cmd_len=
 # find the maximum length of command line arguments
+dnl On DJGPP, this test can blow up pretty badly due to problems in libc
+dnl (any single argument exceeding 2000 bytes causes a buffer overrun
during
+dnl glob expansion).  Even if that were fixed, the result of this check
would
+dnl be larger than it should be.  So override it here.
