hmm,
Eric PAIRE post a patch . Summary could be found  in this thread
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2011-10/msg00017.html
Note Eric's patch is for *kfreebsd* and  *linux* and does not cover solaris.

My question is what is result of  libtool regression test if instead to 
add  x86_64-*-... you replace $host by $build one line above ?
