I have been working on an Ubuntu package of the toolchain. I'm
currently testing it but if anyone want to help out take a look at:
http://andreasdalsgaard.blogspot.com/2008/07/openmoko-development-in-5-minutes.html

At the moment the package fixes the .la problem with an "evil hack"
that make the compilation process use an alternative libtool script.
Actually I would like to have ./configure pick up the LIBTOOL
enviroment variable instead but I have not figured that part out yet,
however I believe this might require another autoconf package.
