Yes, I know about using '-x' in the bash invocation line -- but given 
all of the variable substitution (and duplicated code), '-x' was less 
helpful than you'd think; it's next to impossible to match up the 
display with the source code.  However, lots of echo <lineno> PLUS '-x' 
was a pretty good thing.  However, this is veering wildly offtopic, so 
let's take this "how to debug libtool itself" subthread (if there is 
one) offline...
