I tested this with 48/48 in master.

"bitbake libtool" works here quite consistently. I therefore don't want
to add this dependency until we figure out exactly what is racing
against what or have a better understanding of why this is failing.
Something doesn't seem right as if your premise of a missing dependency
is correct, the above wouldn't work.
