binutils-pass2: Reword the paragraph about libtool workaround
Well, I was blaming libtool too much. If the entire Binutils tree uses libtool this won't happen. The problem is Binutils building system is using libtool-style idiom on non-libtool components. And this issue is not related to cross compiling, at all. A native build can exploit the issue as well (see the updated comment). Maybe I'll submit a patch to GCC (yes, not a typo, GCC is the upstream of Binutils building system) to fix the issue when I have the mood...

We can test by building Binutils on a complete system with
|

zlib (libz.so) installed, passing enable-shared and
|

without-system-zlib. If the resulted libctf.so still links against
|

libz.so (check with readelf -d) despite we are saying

without-system-zlib, then the issue is still unresolved. -->

<para>Binutils relies on an internal libtool copy to link against

internal static libraries, but the libiberty and zlib copies shipped

in the package do not use libtool. This inconsistency may cause
