Not really. Those who are in the repository are actually symbolic links to the 
same files located in the root directory that are *not* in the repository.

Having symbolic links makes the tar.gz source package generated by autoconf 
tools lighter. I can remove them, they will be regenerated again, but not as 
symbolic links, and the tar.gz source becomes heavier.

But anyway that won't solve the problem: having a source package that can be 
compiled both with libtool 1.5 and libtool 2.x.
