Description

Libtool adds a lot of complexity for minimal benefit. I don't think there's any
need for the autoconf build system to produce shared libraries, but someone can
correct me if I'm wrong. Getting rid of libtool means that we'll only build
static libraries for the processor and client. This patch actually makes my
build noticeably faster (probably because libtool is a bulky shell script and
gets invoked for every compile and link). My main impetus for writing this patch
is that I'm compiling Breakpad for Android, and that requires directly link some
object files into the binaries which libtool balks at. With this patch things
work fine.

LGTM. Watch for complaints. There’s probably some user out there that is using this build ...

Yeah, builds fine on both (and under cygwin as well). As a bonus, this also
fixes --enable-m32 on my 64-bit Ubuntu system, which libtool insisted on
breaking.
