I guess that means libtool no longer just calls ../install-sh with
whatever parameters it's given?  Or perhaps just yours?  On my system:

$ libtool --version
libtool (GNU libtool) 2.5.4 Debian-2.5.4-4

It would be good to know if this is the result of gnu libtool changing
their CLI in a newer version; or some other libtool clone is in use; or
something else.

Thank you for sending a patch, but it needs a proper Signed-off-by: tag
before anyone can look at it.
