I am going to stand up again (because I like being shot down) and ask if the 
"stand alone utility" bit is really necessary. I think I asked this before 
and was told to shut up :)

Libtool does not handle changes to compiler switches very well, -m to gcc 
will confuse it, it certainly can not handle multiple compilers, why not 
just stop pretending that it is useful as a stand alone utility?

I'll go into hiding now,
Peter
