| Thanks for the heads up.  Libtool-1.5.22 passes the linker flags correctly.

If shrext_cmds is unset it is because the configure script has a libtool.m4
that does not match the version of ltmain.sh. If you installed libtool in
/usr/local, but have aclocal in /usr/bin, then you are likely getting the
old libtool.m4 from /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 rather than the latest one
at /usr/local/share/...

Add the right -I flags to your aclocal invocation, or install automake in
the same prefix as libtool.
