Yes, this is the "Ubuntu libtool problem".
(Looks like they've propagated the bad idea to 6.06 LTS too.)

I suspect that you are using Debian libtool-1.5.22-4.

  $ libtool --version

Try rolling back to libtool-1.5.22-3
and let us know what happens.

After rolling back, you'll need to remove the old version that was
installed in top level of your build tree and rebuild

  $ make distclean
  $ rm libtool ltmain.sh
  $ ./bootstrap && ./configure
  $ make


If Ubuntu libtool-1.5.22-3 still has the problem, please use the
unmolested libtool 1.5.22 available at
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.5.22.tar.gz

I'd really appreciate it if a Debian or Ubuntu expert would take a
look at this and give us a solid recommendation on how to work around
this.  It would also be good to talk to the Debian/Ubuntu libtool
packagers and let them know about the problem (can't test libraries
without installing them), and see if we can get them to stop breaking
libtool.
