That was my feeling as well as we were having this discussion, without
digging into the history it felt as if this should have been made core
functionality and not optional, especially given the opportunity for
recipes to opt out. At any rate I am about to send a commit to get
things buildable for when the 'remove-libtool' distro feature is
absent and as long as it remains optional I suppose all recipes should
function with and without the feature.
