I think that should do it. gimp-1.1.2 uses the following for linux-gnu* :
deplibs_check_method='file_magic ELF [0-9][0-9]*-bit [LM]SB (shared object|dynamic lib )'
gimp's ltconfig also claims to be version 1.2e, but the latest libtool I can
find is 1.2d, so they probably pulled something out of libtool CVS or patched
it by hand to fix this particular problem.
Once libtool-1.3 comes out, we can just pester the authors to upgrade...
