No problem. I assumed it was an autoconf problem, because configure
generated this libtool. Oh, well, sorry for my confusion.

Sort of. I did export CFLAGS="-O3 -arch $arch"; export CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS;
./configure --build=i386-apple-darwin --host=${arch}-apple-darwin
with different versions for arch: i386, x86_64, ppc and ppc64.

But it looks like that's the same thing, the same problem getting  
triggered.

Great, this workaround does the trick! Could you please drop me a note
if there's a new version of autoconf to be downloaded? As far as I  
understand
this is what I have to update.

Cheers & Thanks!
