Fwd: "~" in builddirs caused libtool to fail

[Kurt Roeckx]

Hi,

In Debian we recently allowed ~ in version numbers, where ~ could be
used to sort after everything else.  This is for instance useful so that
1.0~rc1 is a smaller version than 1.0.

Using this seems to be breaking libtool, because it uses ~ for something
else.  Can someone take a look at this?
