ACK. It doesn't really help and stands in the way for the
cross-compiling world: Read the last paragraph of
http://sourceware.org/autobook/autobook/autobook_80.html about
"hardcoded paths".
So IMHO "libtool" is broken by design.

It gets especially annoying if the actual command line without the
`libtool --mode= ...` prefix actually works and does exactly the right
thing.

For more helpful (and less ranting) another URL for people fighting with
libtool: http://metastatic.org/text/libtool.html
