Sorry for the confusion.  My last paragraph was intended as an
aside.  Libtool runs these commands; but this is not our
problem.

After the test has failed, can you show us the ouput of
  ls -Rl /tmp/automake-1.6/tests/testSubDir/inst/lib
and
  strip -v --strip-debug /tmp/automake-1.6/tests/testSubDir/inst/lib/liba.a
