Thanks for your patch.  First off, I have almost no knowledge of QNX, so
I rely on help.

As far as I can see, this patch changes the versioning scheme used on
QNX.  This means, that potentially all libraries created with libtool
after this change are incompatible with all of those created before.

I see you supplied the last QNX-related change to Libtool, too, in 2004.
Can you provide information about why this change is needed now?  Did
QNX change their versioning, or why is this necessary now?

Also, we would be extremely interested in seeing testsuite (make -k
check) output of Libtool on this system.

Thanks,
Ralf
