  They are broken on many systems.  They are broken in weird and
wonderful ways.  So weird that you will start taking LSD just to feel
normal again.

  If you run into a system with a broken libltdl, just re-build
FreeRADIUS with the C compiler flag -DIE_LIBTOOL_DIE, and it will work.
 People have done this.

  The flag name is meaningless, of course.

  The ones in FR work.  But they might be out of date.  They might not
work on some magical systems.  Magical, as in "the only copy of that OS
still running is in my friends basement, because he collects 35-year-old
computers".
