alsa-project/alsa-lib pull request #19 was opened from tanuk:

This code was added in commit 75d393a563efb578c79364a277087c6326267f52 without explaining why. I assume it was a mistake, since it looks like the libtool problem should have gone away a long time ago. The referenced wiki page https://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue says:

Since libtool 1.5.2 (released 2004-01-25), on Linux libtool no longer sets RPATH for any directories in the dynamic linker search path, so this should no longer be an issue unless upstream used a really old version of libtool when creating their distribution tarball.

This code caused problems in OpenEmbedded, where the libtool script is named "x86_64-oe-linux-libtool" or similar rather than just "libtool", so the sed command failed with a file not found error. Rather than adapting the code to OpenEmbedded's peculiarities, it seems best to just remove the unnecessary code altogether.
