No. it has not
(a) I was not aware of the new maintainer
(b) the background problem does seem a pretty GCC-specific issue.

If we are going to try and reconcile GCC’s local libtool for more generic Darwin
use, then I fear that is going to take quite significant work over a period of time
(since it will need much more wide testing than GCC).

Having said that, it would be good to have a more up-to-date upstream libtool
the current source has a lot of ancient content - as with all things it’s just a
question of resources.   It’s unlikely to be on my radar in time for GCC12.
