I found some message I exchanged on the libtool list regarding this in  
2007. I do not know the current state (libtool 2.2.6b) of this, but  
someone with a little bit of time can check via the testcase which is  
described in the mail at:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libtool.general/8500/focus=8501

When this testcase does not rise a problem, your approach sounds good.

Bye,
Alexander.
