You will experience the first, the next *major* release of Libtool (1.6)
will fix them.

Ish... the code was intended to check whether the user had expanded
AC_PROG_F77 in their configure.ac, if so configure Fortran support and
if not hook the definition of AC_PROG_F77 to configure Fortran support
if it were expanded later in the file.

The bug was that the code when checking for configure arguments expanded
AC_PROG_F77 anyway, so this code always thought the user wanted Fortran
support.

See HEAD for a better way of doing things.
