--- Comment #1 from Tom Tromey <tromey at sourceware dot org> ---
I don't know anything about slibtool, but it sounds like
maybe the provided build system is being modified to work
with it?

gdb doesn't use libtool for linking but does seem to use
the workaround:

BFD_DIR = ../bfd
BFD = $(BFD_DIR)/libbfd.a

Changing gdb to use libtool for linking seems fine to me,
as long as it doesn't slow down the whole build somehow.
You may have to find all the subdirectories relying on this hack.
