I do understand that the patch itself is not fixing the problems, but
if you don't explain *why* you're backporting something, then it isn't
going to be obvious for the maintainer why this libtool change is
needed.

Something like: "This libtool change ensures that ld uses the right
machine emulation file, which will allow to fix several MIPS64 n32 link
failures, such as the one currently visible on the libiscsi package.
Packages affected by this problem will have to use <pkg>_AUTORECONF =
YES to benefit from this libtool fix, until they are fixed upstream."

We did not use numbers in the past, and the new (1 year old or so)
policy is to use numbers, to guarantee a correct ordering between
patches.

Thanks! :-)
