Which version of libtool? Can you share the header of the configure script too?
See also
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libtool.git/commit/?id=da2e352735722917bf0786284411262195a6a3f6
which landed in 2.4.7. Note that configure scripts must be regenerated using a
newer libtool to use this.
(See also the far older
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-libtool/2014-06/msg00005.html but I don't
think that landed at a very quick glance).
