Well, during static builds these operations are equivalent.
Unless there is a specific reason to change it, this patch
should be reverted.

I don't remember exactly, but i think it was something without which
apache wouldn't build - something not as obvious as just compiling the
code in a different way. Might have been generating the proper code for
libs or something (-fPIC vs. -fpic etc.).

They are functionally equivalent, but not speed-wise. So, if
there is really a functional difference which I'm not aware
of, I need to know it (it is also used by PHP).
Hubert, can you tell us whether there is any functional
difference?

I think the specific reason is to avoid confusion. If the two are
equivalent, this doesn't cause any problems, and it seems to have fixed
some for NetBSD, because it was included in a patch to get NetBSD
compiling. The person who submitted the patch didn't say what problem it
solved, he just basically said that we should be using libtool to compile
everywhere.
