that's the point of the change -- to locate ELT-patches that matches the
libtool.eclass regardless of what the overlay is doing. the intention was not
to support local sets of ELT-patches while still using the libtool.eclass from
elsewhere. see the bug referenced in the commit:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/389009
if you duplicate libtool.eclass in your overlay, it should find ELT-patches
there. considering libtool.eclass is pretty tightly coupled to the contents of
that dir, i'm not sure supporting overlays is desirable.
