I should add the option to configure...

Actually, I modified the libltdl sources by adding a lt_dlopen_flag that 
allows me to pass the LTDL_LAZY flag to dlopen() when calling lt_dlopen(). 
Otherwise, all symbols are resolved at library loading, which can be slow 
when loading the qt or kde libraries.

I will try to download and merge libtool 1.5.10 in the package as soon as 
possible. I tried an little older version some times ago, but failed to 
merge.
