I'm not sure whether it is worth to spent much time with heuristics ...
On the other hand -- quick grep through installed 'POSIX shell script' files (by
/bin/file) installed in %_bindir wouldn't hurt the performance too much,
nor manpower.
Is anybody able to grep through many (all?) packages whether this ever
happened accidentally before?
I doubt installed wrapper script worked for you; but yes - it might be too
late as not everything is manually tested (if not detected by toolchain).

Thanks for pointing that, I'll try to have a look. Sounds like very old typo
in libtool.texi.
