Ouch, not being much of a libtool user myself, I hadn't noticed that.

We could consider configuring shared libraries without libtool. That's
what I do in Nettle (which uses neither libtool nor automake), see
https://git.lysator.liu.se/nettle/nettle/-/blob/master/configure.ac#L761
It hasn't been that much hassle to maintain, but may well be inferior to
libtool in some ways.

Or are there any useful configure helpers in the gnulib package?
