The lines from libtool are below.

I see the "X"'s earlier on. Some examples are below.

  79 # Sed that helps us avoid accidentally triggering echo(1) options like -n.
  80 Xsed="$SED -e 1s/^X//"

 471 # Check that we have a working $echo.
 472 if test "X$1" = X--no-reexec; then
 473   # Discard the --no-reexec flag, and continue.
 474   shift
 475 elif test "X$1" = X--fallback-echo; then
 476   # Avoid inline document here, it may be left over
 477   :
 478 elif test "X`($echo '\t') 2>/dev/null`" = 'X\t'; then
 479   # Yippee, $echo works!
 480   :
 481 else
 482   # Restart under the correct shell, and then maybe $echo will work.
 483   exec $SHELL "$progpath" --no-reexec ${1+"$@"}
 484 fi
 485 
 486 if test "X$1" = X--fallback-echo; then
 487   # used as fallback echo
 488   shift
 489   cat <<EOF
 490 $*
 491 EOF
 492   exit $EXIT_SUCCESS
 493 fi

 502 # Sed substitution that helps us do robust quoting.  It backslashifies
 503 # metacharacters that are still active within double-quoted strings.
 504 Xsed="${SED}"' -e 1s/^X//'
 505 sed_quote_subst='s/\([\\`\\"$\\\\]\)/\\\1/g'
 506 # test EBCDIC or ASCII
 507 case `echo X|tr X '\101'` in
 508  A) # ASCII based system
 509     # \n is not interpreted correctly by Solaris 8 /usr/ucb/tr

Can someone comment on what their libtool looks like? Are these "X"'s present?
