Ok, submitting the behavior would probably be best.

You'll have to sign up on their mailing list (sorry): address@hidden

http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-libtool

I'd say that sending the detailed output from "make" of my sample tarball 
should be sufficient, and a description of "prefix it with -Wl..." might be 
enough.  Feel free to CC me and/or say we discovered the problem with Open MPI, 
but then say that we replicated it with a small/trivial example to show just 
that problem outside of the complexity of Open MPI (they know us OMPI'ers over 
there on the bug-libtool list ;-) ).
