No.  If the tag is not specified using the --tag= option, then libtool
will guess the tag from the first word after the libtool options.  If
you used 'CC=gcc -g' while running configure, then libtool won't be
able to guess the tag correctly since it parses the command line as
presented.

Use CC=gcc CFLAGS=-g in order to avoid tag name mismatches.
