Much to my disappointment, I found that the newly-released libkmod v5

        diff --git a/Makefile.am b/Makefile.am

         LIBKMOD_REVISION=0
        -LIBKMOD_AGE=3
        +LIBKMOD_AGE=0

It doesn't really make sense to use libtool at all in this situation, there is no portability requirement. Perhaps -version-number instead of -version-info would make their lives easier as it does the calculations for them.
