Not really an option for me, since I need to insert the same libtool
version that is used on whichever Red Hat distribution I'm building for.

In any case, the other point is that you're failing to distribute the
complete source code as defined by the LGPL license you're using
(ie, the "preferred form of the work for making modifications" ---
derived files ain't it).

Being the authors, you can of course do whatever you want, but it's
arguably illegal for Red Hat or other packagers to redistribute this
package, since we are likewise failing to provide the complete source
code.
