One reason for this is that we needed to patch ltmain.sh to properly handle -Wl,-as-needed, because the Arch package maintainer refused to do so unless upstream accepts!
So, you are patching ltmain.sh in pacman, because you refused to patch libtool in Arch to work properly with Arch?

Yes - one project I am upstream in, the other I am not.
You complained above that the Arch Linux package maintainer for libtool refused to fix it in Arch. Since you are the package maintainer, and this is a global problem for Arch, why don't you fix it there? Is it really a better choice to fix every package instead of just patching libtool?
