This has been addressed.  I ran into this a while ago, and jimb worte
a patch which I tweaked slightly.  The patch doesn't use regex at all
(which is good) but relies on some details of the format of libtool
output files.  You may want to stick with that version, or you may
want to get your patch added as well.
