Sorry I haven't had time to look into it myself, but one of the things
libtool will do is add flags in a system dependent way (and occasionally
strip some out if you aren't careful and made a typo in an option or
something). Again, I haven't had time to look, but if you feed configure
--disable-silent-rules, this will produce verbose output during compile and
linking. It will first show the lines that were passed to libtool and then
show the line that it actually used. Doing a diff on those should help
elucidate what's going on.

What are the errors?

libtool is what takes care of this. Again, you'll see the command it uses
at link time with the --disable-silent-rules configure option.

libtool should be doing the "trick" you showed. So are you in the situation
that trunk and branch are failing in different ways with hand-built GCC?

Best,
