Sure.  The #1 benefit is, it supports
   make install DESTDIR=/temporary/staging/area
correctly.  (The old libtool botched this terribly in the case of shared libraries.)
That's a huge plus; it's needed whenever
you're doing cross-builds (or even when building rpms).
The libtool patch for this fix was contributed by Ossama in September or so, I think.

There may be other benefits, I don't know.
