Description Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev

In the forums and in #gentoo IRC the following problem was brought to my attention: Users running old systems with EAPI=2 portage will receive the following message when trying to upgrade python:

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-devel/libtool-2.2.6b" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-devel/libtool-9999 (masked by: missing keyword)
- sys-devel/libtool-2.4-r1 (masked by: EAPI 3)
- sys-devel/libtool-2.2.10 (masked by: EAPI 3)

This is because python inherits from autotools.eclass, which depends on >=sys-devel/libtool-2.2.6b

I suggest to have an EAPI<3 ebuild for >=libtool-2.2.6b restored, which would help users upgrading their old systems.
