Yes, that may be it. However, that also means that, while the patch fixes things for you, it doesn't really add value to Libtool in the sense that we cannot guarantee an improvement of some portable kind to users. That's ok per se, but of course not ideal. ;-)
As long as build portability does not suffer, I think it is a good thing for builds to be as deterministic as possible. Otherwise it is possible for the built binaries to perform differently from build to build.
