Here's where I am so far.

There's a GNU package called "libtool" which contains the source        
strings that get edited into this stuff.                                

Libtool is the package that needs to know all this.  So I have to
go give libtool all the knowledge of all the compiler options and 
then use that modified libtool to rebuild the binutils package. 

Ugh.
