Isn't this a property which can be set at build time? I mean: isn't  
there a $OSNAME case where this can be set for a specific OS? So it  
boil down to just set those two variables accordingly in the FreeBSD  
case and to send a patch to the libtool maintainers. For Linux this  
isn't doable, as there are many Linux distros out there, but for  
FreeBSD we can do this. But this should be tested on pointyhat first,  
I think.

Bye,
Alexander.
