Libtool patch for ELF Tool Chain strip(1) support

Libtool currently does not properly detect ELF Tool Chain's strip(1),
and thus does not invoke strip when ELF Tool Chain is in use.
Originally reported in FreeBSD here:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198611

Xin Li posted a patch in Savannah to address it:
savannah.gnu.org/patch/?8675  I followed up on libtool-patches with a
slightly more compact version that I've been using:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2015-05/msg00005.html
 So far though there's been no reply to either.

We'll probably address this with a patch in the FreeBSD ports tree in
the short term. Ideally we'll apply the same change that is, or will
be, applied to upstream libtool though. Can I encourage one of the
libtool developers to take a look?
