It turns out that libtool 2.4.6 doesn't define SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE and this breaks some packages, e.g. libffi. This is most likely because of the unexpected nm output at some place. See ​https://github.com/bitwiseworks/mozilla-os2/issues/115#issuecomment-145166248 for details.

On Windows, this option in particular disables exporting all symbols by libtool when building a DLL since it implies that only the necessary symbols are exported with __declspec(dllexport) in the sources. However, we don't have anything similar on OS/2. So if we use __declspec(dllexport) in the sources there and use libtool, we will still get all symbols exported instead of the ones marked with __declspec(dllexport). This needs to be fixed as it's not good to export stuff that is not intended to be exported.

We have a very old version 4.8.6 back from 2010. A newer version is required for the latest NSS port which is required by many projects including poppler and Mozilla itself.
