iirc, what you're expecting is Linux style on systems which dont use Linux 
style.  so libtool is working correctly as the maintainers of those respective 
OS's intended.  while you might disagree with their decisions, it doesnt make 
the libtool behavior wrong.

what we do on Gentoo/*BSD ports is use this patch:
http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-devel/libtool/files/1.5.20/libtool-1.5.20-use-
linux-version-in-fbsd.patch

and then set our CHOST to something like "i686-gentoo-freebsd...", and for the 
"gentoo" vendor, we get Linux style versioning.
