Brief description of tool

GNU Libtool is a generic library support script that hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable interface.

URL for tool's homepage

https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/

Provide a basic test case to validate the tool's functionality.

This seems to have been included in `macos-13`, but not in `macos-14`.

Hey! We would not like pre installing lib tool due to its short installation time in runtime.

Hello, yes I indeed understand that, however the problem isn't really that it's not installed or cannot be installed at runtime. The problem is that all other macos images have it pre-installed, so there is going to be confusion, for example, when a user expects a tool to be installed when adding macos-14 jobs to an existing workflow already using macos-13 or macos-12. This is especially important as macos-latest has very recently stopped pointing to macos-12 and now points to macos-14.

Here is a very basic workflow demonstrating this: https://github.com/hummeltech/TempPackages/actions/runs/8883284476
