2.5.4 was released on Wed 20 Nov[^1].
A few patches have been merged:
- emscripten-dllinker merged as v2.5.3-41-gd8a93445
- response-files merged as v2.5.3-25-geed74d65
Then clang-libs and embed-bitcode were conflicting, so they were rebased
and their filename were bumped too.

When libtool links DLLs that include C++ code, it does so by
passing -nostdlib and manually adding the compiler built-in
default libraries. When linking, clang specifies the compiler-rt
library by passing the full path to the .a file, instead of using
-L + -l. libtool currently doesn't pick up such a full path to
a static library as a library it should include.
This patch is a custom libtool patch from chromium os [1],
upstreaming is in progress at [2].
