Well, it looks like the update from upstream was

  r155012 | rwild | 2009-12-05 17:18:53 +0000 (Sat, 05 Dec 2009) | 113 lines

  Sync from git Libtool and regenerate.

so looking for relevant libtool commits around that time might help 
identify the one that was used.  My guess is that

commit ef32f487d746dbcdc00c2c357ebe3cf2a68d8a28
Author: Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de>
Date:   Tue Nov 24 12:22:13 2009 +0100

    Enable symbol versioning with the GNU gold linker.

is the libtool commit you should be comparing libtool files with to 
identify local changes.
