Dumb question: why not use libtool?

Hi all,

For the X server (I'm working with 7.1 but head has the same deal)
the configure.ac script sets LD_EXPORT_SYMBOLS_FLAG specifically
for some very limited set of OSes. Byt we're already configuring
in libtool, and it already knows how to do this for all the
platforms it supports, so why, when linking teh X server, don't
we simply use the -export-dynamic libtool option?
