Fix: Libtool fails to find dependent libraries when cross-compiling lttng-tools
This problem arise when cross compiling and linking libraries with
indirect libraries dependencies (such as liblttng-ust). This "bug" is
caused by an upstream modification in the libtool package on Debian
system. The libtool "link_all_deplibs" flag is set to "no" by default
on linux targets (AFAIK, other distros set it to "unknown").
The chosen solution is to detect such cases via the configure script
and automagically patch the libtool.m4 by forcing the "link_all_deplibs"
to "unknown".
This fixup can be disabled with the appropriate configure flag:
./configure --disable-libtool-linkdep-fixup
Sample configure output on affected systems:
checking for occurence(s) of link_all_deplibs = no in
./config/libtool.m4... 3
configure: WARNING: the detected libtool will not link all
dependencies, forcing link_all_deplibs = unknown
